ENTERING GRADES 7-8
The Outpost I experience includes Camp Shalom’ s high ropes course and an epic caving adventure in the caverns and mud pits at Maquoketa Caves State Park. Campers will participate in the week-long Outpost Challenge, a fun competition between cabin groups featuring the vaunted Iron Chef Breakfast event.
Outpost campers get to choose part of their activity schedule together as cabin groups, and they will also participate in our brand new Adventures program, choosing a three-day nature, arts & crafts, Launch!, or sports experience. Campers in the Outpost enjoy a higher degree of autonomy and more “hang-out” time than Village campers.
