reschoolers rule at Temple Shalom’s Camp Shalom, where an outstanding 7-week summer program is specifically targeted to children ages 1-5. Returning campers and new participants all look forward to a wide variety of exciting experiences, new friendships and nonstop fun. There is something to capture everyone’s interest. Campers participate in water play, dancing, arts and crafts, STEAM activities, shopping in our little market (Markolit), cooking — including
making mini challahs on Shabbat — performing arts, foreign language, science and music, all while exercising their creativity, imagination, talent and funny bones. Camp Shalom makes the Naples’ summer a gift to the preschool population. Whether they are playing in water,
sand or are covered in paint, they are enjoying the company of friends and the love and caring of fabulous adult teachers and wonderful assistants, who engage the children in fun games and exploration in a safe and loving environment created just for them.
