Morning Chugim

Director’s Cut - Claymation
Join other film makers in the director's chair this summer for a blockbuster of epic proportions. In our totally redesigned workshop, film making crews will work together with a REAL film maker to create a stop-motion animation film that is sure to rival the likes of Tim Burton and Wallace & Gromit. The film makers will create their own original characters out of clay, and then help bring them to life!  Everything from set design to scriptwriting will be covered, as the campers are treated to the full Hollywood experience. Once complete, crews will edit their movie on Final Cut Pro X and create an authentic movie trailer to advertise their film.  The Director’s Cut is here to help you unleash your inner Spielberg!

Cheerleading
Miami has the Dolphins, Broward has the Panthers and now Palm Beach County has its very own professional dance and cheer team THE PALM BEACH MAKO CHEERLEADERS. Join the Mako cheerleaders for a cheer camp that includes cheerobics, cheers, chants, jumps, dance, motions and basic stunts. Campers will learn the proper technique in all areas of cheerleading in a safe, non competitive environment. No previous cheerleading or gymnastics is required. Cheerleading Camp instructors all have experience teaching cheerleading to children. They have worked at companies such as NCA, UCA and have won awards on college and All Star squads that include Top Gun, University of Texas, East Texas State University and Wellington Jags.

Cooking  
It’s no secret…kids love to cook! This hands-on track is aimed to get campers excited about healthy foods and being in the kitchen.  Campers will learn the fundamentals of cooking including kitchen safety and to cook popular meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert.  No need to send a lunch, this specialty track includes a trip to Publix and preparing lunch each day!  At the end of the week all campers will go home with an apron, chef hat and a cookbook!  

Sports
What could be better than another week with Coach Yale and his staff?  Our Sports Camp creates a “game time” environment and focuses on each child’s athletic skill development while enjoying indoor and outdoor recreational time playing all the favorites like basketball, hockey, soccer, flag football, baseball and pillow polo.  Campers can choose just the morning programs, just the afternoon programs or both!  

Bricks 4 Kidz® Space Adventures
Inspired by NASA and Star Wars™, our Space Adventures Camp is packed full of models that will make your imagination blast off! Each day, campers will learn about real-life space exploration and build models related to the NASA space program. In addition, the day includes LEGO® Star Wars™ themed models, video games, group games, challenges and more. Bricks 4 Kidz® Space Adventure Camp provides the spark for imagination and creativity to take off on an adventure that's out of this world!  At the end of the week campers will take home a custom mini-figure.

Afternoon Chugim

Swimming
The Quality Swimming Chugim will give campers the opportunity to have fun in the water while perfecting their swim techniques. Each day will feature a ‘stroke of the day’, swim safety, water games and free swim.  At the end of the week, Quality Swimming will hold a Camp Shalom Swim Meet where the kids will earn participation awards and will record how fast they can swim a lap of the pool in each stroke they learned throughout the week.

Traditional
Wish you had one more week of Camp Shalom…the Traditional Chugim will give you just that!  This Chugim will feature everything you love about Camp Shalom. Be ready for anything from gaga, to scavenger hunts, to obstacle courses, to surprise themed activities to water relays and everything in between.  (Campers will need a swim suit, towel and sunscreen each day)

Science
The Science Chugim will explore a wide variety of science mediums!  Each day will be spent learning about new and exciting science themes. Themes include chemistry, science of food, physical science, ooey gooey science, and forensics.  The Science Chugim will be so much fun, the campers won’t even realize they are learning!  

Sports
What could be better than another week with Coach Yale and his staff?  Our Sports Camp creates a “game time” environment and focuses on each child’s athletic skill development while enjoying indoor and outdoor recreational time playing all the favorites like basketball, hockey, soccer, flag football, baseball, and pillow polo.  Campers can choose just the morning programs, just the afternoon programs or both!  

Art
