Camp Shalom – Registration Opens January 2
Great things are happening at Camp Shalom! 🌲
Nestled in the beautiful rolling hills outside of Maquoketa, Iowa, Camp Shalom invites families to make camp part of their children’s faith journey. Past campers describe attending Camp Shalom as the highlight of their year!
Under new leadership, Camp Shalom is headed in a beautiful direction that is focused on faith, hospitality, and safe and restorative relationships. Rooted in our mission “to nurture the spiritual formation of campers and those who disciple them toward purposeful faith,” Camp Shalom is a place where kids belong, believe, and become.

Winter Camp is January 16–18. This is a perfect midwinter opportunity for fun, friendship, and spiritual growth set in a winter wonderland. For grades 4th-9th.
Camp Shalom is also now accepting applications for summer staff, a meaningful way to serve and grow in faith.

ICAN Senior Alert: The FAFSA
| FAFSA Applications If you haven’t filed your FAFSA, the following is a recording of the step-by-step process. You should get your FAFSA submitted as soon as possible, but it’s very important if you are considering the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, or Loras College. Each of these colleges have a FAFSA priority date in December. |
|
| These dates mean if you get your FAFSA submitted to these colleges by that date, you receive the maximum amount of financial aid you qualify for. If you file the FAFSA after a school’s priority date, financial aid may be limited, and you may not get as much.
Check out our recording on the process and get your FAFSA filed today. |
