Camp Shalom
Kid’s Camp Programs
“Camp Shalom” is a Christian youth summer camp offering both kids camps and special needs camps. For over 40 years Camp Shalom has been a meeting place for friends and family to have fun and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. As the summer camp ministry of Countryside Camp and Conference Centre, Camp Shalom strives to provide campers and special support guests with fun and educational programming in a safe, accepting and, above all, Christ-centered environment.
Our summer camp staff members are hired based on their spiritual testimony, demonstrated life experience and current qualifications. They participate in a two-week intensive staff training period. Our summer camp staff strive to exemplify quality in character, morality in decision-making, and Biblical understanding in their teaching.
Summer camp has always been a place that makes lasting impacts on the people who visit. Memories are made that last a lifetime, friends are made who you meet here every year, new skills are learned that change the way you live, and great counselors are met who lead by example. At Camp Shalom we value every single person who comes through our gates, we pray for our campers by name and trust that God is present here and is at work in each person’s life.
New reduced fees for kid’s camp! We heard you! This is the second year in a row we have reduced our fees.
Camp Shalom continues to be dedicated to keeping the fees for camp as low as possible. We do this by fundraising around 1/3 of the actual cost of camp. In previous years we offered one week of Adventure Camp at a lower cost. NEW this year, ALL of our Adventure Camp weeks are cheaper! We never want finances to be a barrier to kids having the life-changing experience of camp.
