We look forward to seeing your child at Engman Camp Shalom this year. Each week of camp is an opportunity to learn and grow, and campers will return home each day with plenty of stories to share. With any luck, they’ll also be ready for bed!
When you register your child for camp, you receive a Parent Handbook full of helpful information about our camp dress code, safety, general rules and more. To request a new copy of the handbook or for additional questions about camp, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
As you plan for camp, here are some reminders and details especially for parents.
We offer before and after care for campers at our Caspe Terrace facility. Before care begins at 7:30 am and after care is available until 5:30 pm. The cost is $35/week for either option or $70/week for both before and after care. For unplanned extended care, the drop-in rate is $10/hour. Be sure to include your before or after care needs during registration.
