Camp Shalom
General Information

About our Camp Staff

One of the most powerful signs that a camp is successful is staff retention. Our staff retention rate is consistently about 80%. Our staff understands and appreciates the sense of tradition that remains such an important part of this summer camp experience. Our staff utilizes their many years of experience and their deep sense of passion to provide a very meaningful, safe and exciting experience to their campers. All staff members are required to participate in an intensive camp orientation and are always offering ideas to help the leadership of this camp improve their product. Our staff will make sure your camper has a summer of fun, a lifetime of memories.

The staff will be led by a very dedicated group of professional individuals: Martha Owens, Camp Director, in her 4th summer and Alan Drover, Assistant Camp Director, in his 22nd year.
