Our daughter grew in so many ways this summer, thanks to Camp Shalom.
She overcame worries about the climbing wall, swimming and sleeping away from home. Most importantly,
she gained confidence, independence and a belief in herself. I feel so
fortunate to have such an incredible Jewish camp for our daughters.
