FAQ
Dear Campers,
We know you have lots of questions about how COVID-19 will affect your camp experience. We hope that this page which we will keep updating as we learn more will help answer some of those questions.
Registration
Applying by Friday, September 18th gives both new and returning campers the best chance for securing a spot this summer. Returning Solelim campers and graduating Shalom seniors will be given priority registration status until September 18th. Starting September 22nd, campers will be enrolled on a first come, first served basis according to when their full registration package has been received.
Enrolment confirmation will be emailed within 5 to 7 business days after all three registration components - application, deposit, and forms - have been received. Please note that the office is closed for Jewish holidays and this can affect when enrolment confirmations are sent.
Campers who were Rookies at Solelim or Seniors at Camp Shalom last summer who have completed all registration components (application, deposit, and forms) by Friday, September 18th will be given priority in the first wave of enrolment confirmations going out. Returning campers and Shalom graduates will only be given priority in the first wave of enrolment. Subsequent enrolment confirmations will be determined by the date and time registration is completed (i.e. when all components – application, deposit, and forms – are received).
Registration opens for all campers at noon on Monday, September 14th, including for campers who were not at Solelim or Camp Shalom last summer. Once placement has been given to all 2026 Rookies and graduated Shalom Seniors with completed registrations by September 18th, we will start enrolling new campers based on date and time of their completed registration (i.e. when all components – application, deposit, and forms – are received).If you are new, we recommend completing your registration by September 18th to ensure you are given top priority for a spot.
Posts come to camp two days before the Rookies. During this time, we run special programming to prepare them to mentor and welcome our Rookies to Solelim.
We build a lot of intentionality into Solelim's six week program. What makes us unique is our intense focus on building community and fostering teen growth. Having campers coming and going for different sessions takes away from our ability to achieve both these goals. If your camper is apprehensive about being away for six weeks, they are not alone! Many campers are intimidated by the length of camp at first. With the help of our caring staff, campers quickly feel at home and fall in love with camp programming. Six weeks fly by: before they know it, they are hugging their friends on the last Shabbat and crying because they have to leave. Sometimes, campers have important commitments or family events and need to leave camp early. Please be in touch with our office to discuss your circumstances and we will do our best to accommodate. For the benefit of the camp community, registration will be prioritized for campers who are able to spend the full six weeks at camp.
We want to help. Please get in touch with the office for assistance.
Yes! We are looking forward to welcoming families to camp for Visitors' Day on Sunday, July 25th. As many families choose to sleep in Sudbury overnight on Saturday, we will be providing hotel codes for discounted rates. These will be emailed and posted on our website in December.
Yes! Please email Shauna, our Director, to set up a time that works best for you. In the meantime, our virtual tour, instagram and videos are all great resources showcasing camp life, activities, and spirit.
