The Staff House at Camp Shalom has served campers and staff for many decades. But the building’s age and the needs of camp operations today, have left camp at a crossroad where it is no longer viable to update or repair it to meet today’s needs.
The Camp Shalom Board of Directors has made the decision to have a capital campaign to provide the funding for a new Secure Shelter and Health Care Facility.
The new building’s design will provide space on the main floor to house campers who need to be isolated from other campers for health reasons, and office space for the health care staff. It will also provide housing for the summer staff leadership team.
The lower level of the building will have concrete walls and will provide an emergency shelter for weather and other situations where campers and staff might become at-risk.
During the off-season, the facility will provide small-group retreat housing.
The campaign will also provide funding to replace the mowing equipment which is more than 20 years old and to finish paying for the replacement of the Village cabins.
Camp Shalom has an obligation to keep campers and staff healthy and safe. The Camp Shalom community has always responded generously and joyfully to requests for support and looks forward to fulfilling it's commitment to provide the best experience possible.
