CAMP SHALOM REGISTRATION POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Please read below before continuing to register
Each Camp Shalom session has a maximum enrollment (Camp Shalom Noar-Bogrim has a minimum enrollment). Should registration exceed enrollment capacity, the Camp Shalom Committee’s enrollment policy will be followed for campers registering on that date and beyond. The following criteria are used to determine enrollment through a witnessed lottery: registration date, space availability in age group, and priority registration categories (returning campers, siblings of returning or former campers, children of camp alumni, and 2024 Gan HaYeled Preschool graduates). To ensure equitable treatment, registration is ONLINE ONLY (If you need accommodations or assistance, please contact Sam Toso at shalomdirector@jewishmadison.org).
Camp Shalom is open to children entering kindergarten through 5th grade; Camp Shalom Noar-Bogrim is open to children entering 6th through 9th grade —regardless of color, gender, race, religion, ancestry, creed, sexual orientation, political persuasion, disability, or national origin.
Camp Shalom welcomes and strives to meet the needs of all campers. Campers with any disabilities/special needs may require more attention and supervision than our staff is able to provide on its own. We ask that families clearly indicate special needs on the Registration Form so that we may talk with parents directly. Failure to provide accurate information may result in our being unable to serve your child when camp begins. Ongoing 1:1 supervision and support cannot be provided by Camp Shalom staff. Please contact Camp Shalom administration upon registering if you are considering using an outside agency to support campers who are likely to require time away from their group or need 1:1 assistance during the camp day.
Registration must be accompanied by a $55 non-refundable registration fee per child per session. Campers will be accepted only for sessions for which this fee has been paid. The registration fees will not be refunded after registration confirmation.
All camp fees are due by April 15, 2024, or your child’s space will no longer be held.
Written requests for refunds of camp fees (not including the registration fee of $55 per session) will be honored only until April 15, 2024. Cancellations after April 15, 2024, will only be refunded (minus the $55 registration fee) if the opening is filled. Refunds will not be made for incomplete attendance.
Full and/or partial scholarships may be available. The completed scholarship application must be received by April 1, 2024. The scholarship application can be accessed in Active after submitting a registration. If you need assistance accessing the application, please contact Sam Toso at shalomdirector@jewishmadison.org. Scholarship funds will be awarded, and families will be notified by April 8, 2024. If you plan to apply for a scholarship, enter the code SCHOLARSHIP at checkout during registration to waive the registration, tuition, and bus fees. If you plan to use funds through the Children's Long Term Support Waiver program, please enter the code CLTS at checkout to waive the registration, tuition, and bus fees.
Camp Shalom provides transportation to and from the Goodman Campus ONLY from bus stops listed. Campers MUST get on and off the bus at the same stop each day. There is a $45 bus fee per family for each session; however, if families are signing up for three sessions, the third session fee is waived. We will update you on routes and timings as soon as possible following registration.
Prior to camp attendance, a physical examination by a licensed physician within the last two years is required. Forms are provided by Camp Shalom with registration (or download now). Schedule your appointment at this time. Licensing regulations require that we receive a medical form for each child prior to the start of camp. No child will be allowed to attend until the form is received.
Camp Shalom reserves the right to suspend and/or expel any camper whose behavior is deemed unacceptable. To read Code of Conduct >
