Camp Shalom

Outdoor ministry

Camp Shalom is located in the wooded riverbluffs near Maquoketa, Iowa. A Christ-centered outdoor ministry founded in 1976 by St. Paul congregation, today Camp Shalom is a dynamic dimension of our ministry with youth and families.

Retreat base

Camp Shalom’s 300 acres of limestone bluffs and meadows provide a marvelous retreat base for young adults, confirmation youth, high schoolers, Council and staff, and others. A hike in the woods, a scamper up the climbing wall, a late-night songfest around the campfire bond people in memorable ways.

Summer camp

Scores of St. Paul kids, youth, and families find outdoor community at Camp Shalom. Camp Shalom usually hosts over 1,100 youth and families each summer.
