THIS IS A BACK VIEW OF CAMP SHALOM. BEHIND WHERE I WAS STANDING TO TAKE THIS PHOTO, ARE 5 CAMPING DORMS ABOVE GROUND ON POLES, WITH STEPS LEADING TO FRONT PORCH AND A BACK DECK OVERLOOKING BEAUTIFUL WOODED AREA BELOW. THE FULLTIME DIRECTOR OF CAMP SHALOM IS PASTOR ERIC
ELKINS, LUTHERAN. I SEE HIM WEEKLY AS HE IS ALSO PRESIDENT OF THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB. THERE ARE OTHER DORMS AND OTHER BUILDINGS ON THE EXTENSIVE GROUNDS ALONG THE MAQUOKETA RIVER. IT IS A CAMP FOR
ALL FAITHS. IT WAS STARTED BY ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH IN DAVENPORT, BUT NOW HAS ITS OWN BOARD. THE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE CAMP IS
6262 CAVES ROAD, MAQUOKETA AND THERE ARE TWO PHONE NUMBERS, 563-652-3311 AND 563-652-6572. CALL AND TAKE A TOUR SOMETIME, OR THEY WILL SEND YOU INFORMATION ON THE CAMP.
