Vacation Childcare Shalom After School 

Looking for an exciting, engaging, and community-oriented opportunity for your K-5th grader while school is closed? Spend your vacations with our friends at Temple Shalom’s School’s Out Squad! An extension of our newly launched after school program, Shalom After School (SAS), School’s Out Squad boasts an experienced and talented team of educators who specialize in creating fun, enriching experiences for school-aged children of all backgrounds and identities. Just a five minute drive from Burr, School’s Out Squad offers a safe, structured, and inclusive environment with a wide variety of hands-on activities that include creative arts, sports and movement, STEM projects, cooking clubs, music workshops, and more.

We are hosting three vacation camps in 2026:

MLK Jr. Day: Monday, January 19th

February Vacation: Tuesday, February 17th—Friday, February 20th

April Vacation: Tuesday, April 21—Friday, April 24th

Our daily hours of operation are from 9:00am—5:00pm. Scheduling is fully customizable, giving  you the flexibility to enroll your child for however many days you’ll require care. Our Sign-Up Form is available online on Temple Shalom’s website. Enrollment is now open and may be submitted at any time by scanning the QR code on the flyer above. 

Tuition rates vary from $120 per day for non-members to $110 per day for congregants, members, and current SAS families. All balances must be paid in full prior to the start of camp in order to participate. Unfortunately, we do not accept vouchers or assistance at this time.

You are encouraged to bring any questions regarding the program to Michael Siegel—Director of Shalom After School—by email at msiegel@templeshalom.org or by phone at (617) 332-9550 (Ext. 111).

We look forward to serving you and your children!
