Question 1

How quickly do we need to register?

Accepted Answer

We recommend completing your registration by Friday, September 19th. By registering within the first few days, you have the best opportunity to get a spot this summer.

Returning Solelim campers and graduating Shalom seniors will be given priority registration status until the September 19th. Starting September 21st, campers will be enrolled on a first come, first served basis according to when their full registration package has been received.

Question 2

When will we receive confirmation of our camper's enrolment?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is there priority registration?

Accepted Answer

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 19th 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).

Question 4

When does registration open for campers who did not attend Solelim or Shalom last summer?

Accepted Answer

Registration opens for all campers at noon on Monday, September 15th, including for campers who were not at Solelim or Camp Shalom last summer. Once placement has been given to all 2025 Rookies and graduated Shalom Seniors with completed registrations by October 19th, 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 as soon as possible to ensure you are given top priority for a spot.

Question 5

Why do Rookies leave for camp later than the Posts?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Do you offer shorter sessions?

Accepted Answer

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 things. 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 (mailto:info@campsolelim.ca)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.

Question 7

I want to apply, but I cannot afford the deposit.

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Do you have a Visitors' Day this summer?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are looking forward to welcoming families to camp for Visitors' Day on Sunday, July 19th.

Question 9

Can we schedule a meeting to learn more about Solelim?

Accepted Answer

In the meantime, our virtual tour (https://noarapaport98.wixsite.com/virtualsolelim)and videos (https://vimeo.com/campsolelim)are all great resources showcasing camp life, activities, and spirit.
