                                          lifetime of memories?
                                          We’ve been making memories for over 60 years. Children at
                                          Camp Shalom and the other JCC camps grow in ways that
                                          can only happen during their summer vacation – when life
                                          skills and lessons are learned, friendships are created, and
                                          confidence is built. There is nothing quite like summer camp.
                                          Please give – and keep the memories alive
                                          for our children and our community.

Kids are inquisitive by nature. Let them explore and engage in
this brand new program run by scientist and educator, Naomi
Scheinerman. Our young scientists will explore a different
scientific field each day during this week full of awe-inspiring
demonstrations, independent explorations, team based activities,
and take home projects. In the afternoon, campers will enjoy daily
swim and outdoor play and engage in teambuilding activities,
which will help our scientists work together to solve tomorrow’s
scientific mysteries!
