Homesickness. We have had an increasing problem with parents talking their children into being homesick. A week at camp is designed to help a child gain self-confidence. Please help them grow, it will strengthen your relationship and better prepare them for the world.

Cell Phones. Cell phones are the single most disruptive force in camp. If your child cannot stay at camp without a cell phone then they cannot stay at camp.
Cabin Buddies. If two children both request to be in the same cabin, Camp Shalom will honor this request. Parents please consider ALL the children at camp when requesting cabin buddies. We try to break-up groups of 6 or 7 friends into two different cabins because it is not fair to the campers not connected to this group.
Mistakes in cabin assignments are occasionally made, but solutions are always found. Be patient and talk with someone on the leadership staff. We will work together to fix a problem.
Email sent to campers at camp is more expensive, labor intensive, time demanding, and unreliable than parents realize. Camp Shalom is not able to handle email messages to campers.
Parents are welcome to send their children care packages while at camp. However, we ask you to be considerate of other campers in the cabin group. Please avoid sending items designed only for your child’s friends or a small portion of the group. Try to make it for the whole cabin.
