Please complete one registration form per child/ per session.
A confirmation letter will be sent in the mail once your registration has been processed.
Additional information – What to Bring Lists, etc... – will not be mailed. All information is available on our website. If you are unable to access the website please call the camp office.
Health History Forms are on the back of each registration form. A separate copy can be downloaded from our website.

Online:

Campers Who Confirmed Address Information already have an account in our database system. To login use the user id and password provided by the Camp Shalom Office. (Please contact the office if you need another copy of your user id and password.)
New Campers enter the system as a new user. (*) indicates required field.
Avoid Duplicates. If a camper with a current account logins in without using your created user id you will create a duplicate account in our database.
Electronic Confirmation. All confirmation and information material will be sent via e-mail.
Delay. 6 people may begin the registration process per minute. You may experience a delay during the initial rush of registrations in February.
If delayed, the server allows you access according to the order you first attempted to enter the system. A box indicating your wait time will appear on the screen.
Information. There are a number of required fields throughout the system. Please complete as many of the optional fields as possible to help us create a complete file for your camper.
Registering Multiple Campers. You may register more than one child. When the registration process for the first camper is complete, click the option to register another camper. One payment can be made when all your registrations are entered.
A Deposit secures a registration. A camper does not need full payment to guarantee a place in a session.
Important Note: No registration is final until a payment is made. Your child will not be confirmed in a session until a payment (deposit or full payment) is completed. This rule applies to people registering more than one child as well.
Payments to your account can be made at anytime. Login with your user id and password through the link located along the bottom of the initial screen.
Campership requests cannot be processed online. If you register online, you will need to pay a $75 non-refundable deposit to complete the process. All Campership support will be handled though our office. Forms are available on the website.

Waiting Lists

Once a session is full you will be able to register for a waiting list spot in the same manner as you would a session. Go through the registration process completely as though you are registering for an open session.
A waiting list will not appear online until a session is full.
Waiting lists have a capacity of 5 spots. Once a waiting list is full you will have to wait until a spot opens to join it. Capacities are shown in the registration module and are updated live.
Important Note- Should a session fill while you are completing the registration process you will get an error once you reach the point of payment. You will need to start the registration process over to be able to register for a spot on the waiting list. The system will not automatically move you into the waiting list.

Payment and Refund Policy

A $75 non-refundable deposit secures your child’s registration into camp.
A separate deposit is required for each session your child registers to attend.
This deposit is non-refundable regardless of whether there is someone to take your child’s place in a session.
The $75 non-refundable deposit is applied to your total cost of camp. The deposit is not in addition to, but part of the total cost.
The Early Registration Discount applies only to those who pay in full before May 1, 2008. Placing a $75 non-refundable deposit down before May 1 does not grant you the early registration discount.
Total payment of a session is due prior to your child’s arrival at camp. Payments can be dropped off, mailed in, or processed online. If mailed, they must be sent to our Davenport office.
Camperships are available to any camper that needs financial aid. Campership forms can be downloaded off of our website and mailed from the Davenport office.
Refund for campers unable to attend camp. A total refund (less the $75 non-refundable deposit) will be granted if there is another camper to take your child’s spot. If there is no camper to take your child’s place, a refund cannot be given after June 1.
