WELCOME!

I’m absolutely bursting with excitement to return for another unforgettable year at Camp Shalom! Last summer completely blew me away — our incredible campers make this place so special. I’ve spent most of my life working with kids, but Camp Shalom campers have truly captured my heart forever!

This summer’s theme is Be the Light: Brightening Camp, Brightening the World! Each week, we’ll explore a Jewish value and discover fun, creative ways to spread kindness and make a difference — right here at camp and out in the world.

We’ve packed the summer with nonstop fun and adventure! From field trips to specialty camps, there’s truly something for everyone. Back by popular demand: Color Wars! And by camper request, we’re heading to the Cincinnati Zoo (I can’t wait to visit the manatees!). We’ll also revisit camper-favorite spots like the Children’s Discovery Garden at Wegerzyn Gardens and COSI.

Check Out Our Specialty Camps!

• Ninja Warrior Camp is back — get ready to climb, swing, and conquer challenges!
• We’re once again partnering with iCode of Centerville for a one-of-a-kind Tech Experience.
• Theatre Camp is adding stage makeup training this year!
• Culinary Camp has been extended to a full week of foodie fun!

Our traditional camp days will be bursting with new experiences in arts, STEM, and sports, plus even more options in Chugim (electives), so campers can discover something new. And don’t worry — favorites like 9-Square and Just Dance are here to stay!

I can’t wait to spend another summer of light, laughter, and adventure with all of you! If you have any questions, please reach out anytime.

See you soon at Camp Shalom 2026 — Be the Light: Brightening Camp, Brightening the World!
