campers each week. And, thanks to the rainy
days, the children were even engrossed in arts and

not available in years past.

Camp Shalom would like to thank the many
volunteers from the community who came in and
read stories, discussed Shabbat, taught the cooking
chug, made challah dough, helped kids braid
challah, officiated at soccer, taught Israeli dance,
made jewelry boxes and taught beadwork, painted
doors, painted flags, talked about Israel or helped
with the Shabbaton. This year was truly a commu-

fully thank all of the volunteers for their wonderful
service provided.
