International Schools

Whether your school is based in Phnom Penh, or you are journeying from beyond Cambodia's borders, Shalom Valley Camp and Retreat Centre stands as a beacon of safety and profound transformation for your students.

Our staff work with you to streamline your camp planning process, offering an extensive array of activities and themed camps tailored to suit a diverse range of grades and educational stages.

We're not just about facilitating top-notch activities and learning opportunities; the surrounding area brims with unique sights and enriching experiences.

Located on the outskirts of the beautiful Cambodian coastal town of Kep, Shalom Valley is a 3 hour bus ride from Phnom Penh International Airport.

Below, we outline 10 compelling reasons why our venue should be the top pick for your upcoming school excursion.

At Shalom Valley we prioritize the safety and security of your students above all, ensuring peace of mind for both educators and parents. The camp is a gated venue with no access to the public (with a minimum spend, we can guarantee there will be no other camps onsite while you are there). We also offer Risk Contingency Plans and a strict Child Protection Policy because our commitment to safety is unwavering.

We are fully equipped to facilitate a wide range of activities and educational programs tailored to your school's curriculum. Our team of experienced native English speaking instructors and facilitators is on hand to deliver engaging learning experiences that complement your classroom teaching. Whether it's outdoor adventures, team-building exercises, games, or subject-specific workshops, we can accommodate your needs, enriching your students' educational journey outside the classroom.

We believe that your teachers deserve as enriching an experience as their students. That's why we offer exclusive comforts such as complimentary “teacher lattes” throughout the day and private air-con bungalows (each with a separate lounge) for accommodation. These amenities are designed to ensure a relaxing retreat for teachers, so they have the energy to fully engage with students during the camp experience.

Recognizing the immense value of cultural immersion in education, we are in the process of introducing a comprehensive cultural experience program. Our vision is to offer students a glimpse of local Khmer traditions, customs, and history, providing an invaluable global perspective and fostering a sense of international mindedness. This culturally enriching program promises to enhance your students' understanding of the world.

Our camp venue offers a unique proposition with 5 different themed camps designed to align with multiple year programs. These thematic camps are crafted to build on each other, offering students a progressive learning experience over consecutive years. From environmental stewardship to leadership development, each camp is designed with specific learning outcomes in mind, providing a cohesive and comprehensive educational journey throughout the students' school years.

Shalom Valley has forged strong ties with the local community, offering students unique opportunities to engage in service projects. These hands-on experiences are designed to teach valuable life lessons in empathy, teamwork, and social responsibility. By participating in these service opportunities, students can make a meaningful impact on the community, enhancing their personal development and global citizenship.

Environmental education is at the heart of our camp philosophy. We offer a plethora of learning opportunities focused on environmental care, sustainability, and conservation. Through interactive workshops, guided nature walks, and hands-on conservation projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues and their role in protecting our planet. Our aim is to inspire a new generation of environmental stewards, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a difference.

Shalom Valley is not just a place for outdoor adventure; it's a living classroom rich in history. Among our most poignant educational sites is an actual bomb crater, a remnant from the past that serves as a powerful reminder of Cambodia's turbulent history. This feature offers students a unique opportunity to learn about the Khmer story, understand the resilience of its people, and reflect on the impacts of conflict - an unforgettable, thought-provoking experience that expands the perspective of every student who visits our camp.

We believe that the best learning happens in the embrace of nature. Our camp boasts a variety of outdoor meeting spaces designed to break the conventional classroom barriers and foster a more immersive learning experience. These natural classrooms not only provide a refreshing change of scenery but also inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper connection with the subject matter. Whether it's a lesson under the canopy of towering trees or a discussion by the serene fishpond, our outdoor spaces enhance the learning experience, making education an adventure in itself.

We understand that each school has unique needs and budgetary constraints, which is why we offer unparalleled flexibility in our programs. Our team is committed to working closely with you to tailor a camp experience that fits your financial requirements and educational goals. Whether it's customizing activities, adjusting the length of stay, or offering various accommodation options, we are here to ensure that your camp is both affordable and aligned with your school's specific objectives. Our goal is to make our enriching camp experiences accessible to all students, without compromising on quality or educational value.
