We are now accepting reservations, if you plan to attend 2007 Camp, please make your reservation today. All accommodations are available on a first-come, first-served basis, giving early registrants preference regarding dates of attendance and accommodations. Print out, complete and send in your Reservation Application by mail or fax. We look forward to seeing you at Camp!

Beginning in 2007, we have added a two week program with new curriculum that will take students to a deeper learning of Scripture. You may attend from one to five weeks of Camp depending on your schedule. Campers are encouraged to attend all five weeks of camp if their schedules allow.

The TWO WEEK PROGRAM will run from Saturday, July 7 through Friday, July 20, 2007 at 12:00 noon. You may attend one or two weeks.

The THREE WEEK PROGRAM will run from Saturday, July 21 through Saturday, August 11, 2007. You may attend one, two, or all three weeks.

Campers will attend four hour-long classes daily for both the two and three week programs. The three week program has a fifth session scheduled for first-time campers. A youth program is provided during the adult sessions.

We have designed our schedule for maximum teaching time during the day, while allowing ample time for fun and fellowship. The afternoons and weekends allow plenty of free time for fun and fellowship, recreation at Trout Pond, and various other activities located nearby including hiking, tennis, and basketball. You will need to bring your own equipment for these activities.

Each Friday evening we have a special Shabbat dinner, with the exception of July 20, 2007. Reservations are required for quests. Saturday is a free day for campers who will continue their stay at camp, and a departure day for those who will not continue their stay.

Sunday mornings, we gather for a time of worship led by Ariel staff members and campers. If you play a musical instrument, please bring it along to share with us. Sunday evenings are reserved for lakeside cookouts with music, dance, and fellowship.

We have also scheduled a talent night – The Camp Shoshanah Extravaganza – for the final Friday evening, August 10.

There are a limited number of beds and campground spaces available. If you want to stay at the camp, be sure to secure your reservations early as a "Resident Adult." The cabins, dorm beds and campground spaces are assigned to you by our facilities director when you arrive at camp.

COMMUTER CAMPERS: Optionally, there are a number of small but clean motels available nearby. If you prefer to stay at one of these local motels and make the short drive (10-15 minutes) to camp each day, be sure to secure your reservation as a "Commuter Adult."

You may also take this opportunity to try one of the local restaurants. The first meal served will be the Saturday evening meal, July 7 for the two week program and Saturday evening, July 21 for the three week program.

Please Note: Campers are not permitted to prepare their own meals nor is food allowed in the cabins. Our kitchen facilities do not allow us to make provision for special diets or storage of special food items in the camp kitchen. A refrigerator will be available in the dining hall for campers with special needs only (for example, prescriptions - not for use for food preference). The kitchen staff cannot warm bottles nor can kitchen privileges be granted for this purpose. We encourage you to bring disposable bottles since it will not be possible to boil bottles for cleansing.
