Shalom Valley is required to register the stay of all foreigners to the local authorities in Kep.

Therefore, we need to request that all non-Cambodians who will be attending TCK Summer Camp upload a photo of their camper's passport (photo page only) details when they register for camp.

If you have a Cambodian passport (or dual citizenship), Shalom Valley does not need to collect your passport details.

After all registrations and camp fees have been received, we will set up a private WhatsApp group (around the end of May 2025) to send you more information and to facilitate communications with campers and parents in the lead up to and during the camp.

Camp will include sharing meals, playing sport, swimming, chilling by the pool, participating in Shalom Valley's outdoor adventure activities, (SV water obstacle course, zip line, team games, etc), times of worship, Bible teaching, small group discussions, evening bonfires, and basically having loads of fun.

No, all bedding, mattresses, equipment will be provided by Shalom Valley.

No. All campers will be accommodated in the Shalom Valley dorms, supervised by their dorm leaders and have access to shared bathrooms.

Yes, if we have adequate notice the Shalom Valley kitchen can cater for food allergies and special dietary needs (GF, vegetarian, etc). Please provide this information during the registration process.

All campers are welcome to bring their own coffee, tea, drinks and snacks to Shalom Valley. Please ensure they are stored in secure containers and food must NOT be kept in the dorms as they attract pests.

Shalom Valley has an on-site café next to the pool that will be selling barista coffees, cold drinks and snacks (prices range from $1-$2.50).

No, sorry. For the sake of the wider group and to minimize disruptions, we require that all campers attend for the full 4 days and 3 nights.

If you can no longer attend, please contact Paul or Alli to advise ASAP. A refund of your camp fees will be given if your cancellation is more than 14 days before camp. If you cancel after 28 May 2025, a refund will not be possible.

A list of "What to Bring" will be sent to the camp WhatsApp group closer to the camp date.

Shalom Valley does not have wifi access for campers. However, you should have normal cellular coverage with your mobile phone provider.

TCK Summer Camp will be an amazing opportunity to connect with friends, nature and your camp leaders. We therefore strongly recommend that (if possible) all campers leave their electronic devices at home or commit to keeping their access to mobile phones and devices to an absolute minimum throughout the duration of camp.

No. Shalom Valley is a non-smoking, alcohol and drug free zone. We do not allow you to bring pets to Shalom Valley.
