SOAR: A WEEKEND CAMP FOR ADULTS WITH UNIQUE ABILITIES

Camp Shalom offers the opportunity for adults with unique abilities to “Soar” as they challenge themselves to maximize their potential.  There will be a 3-day/2-night session available.

Several adjustments are made for this camp session. The staff-to-camper ratio is much smaller, and the number of activities each day is reduced. Otherwise, it's camp as usual. Campers will have the opportunity to experience new and exciting things and learn more about themselves.

Campers will sleep in cabins, go canoeing, climb a rock wall, fly down the zip-line, shoot archery, and participate in many other activities. Most importantly, Soar campers will be accompanied by the incredible staff members at Camp Shalom who will keep them safe and make sure they have fun.
