Tawonga offers a variety of weekend programs for families and individuals to unplug in Tawonga’s beautiful wilderness.

About Weekend Programs

This year, Family Camps are offered in May, August, September, October, and December; and our Adult Retreats are offered in October. Our weekends offer relaxation and rejuvenation for adults and fun for kids in the stunning beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Family Camp is an all-inclusive family experience that includes rustically comfortable housing, delicious food, snacks and free-flowing Peet’s Coffee, and a full weekend of programs, activities, and childcare. Family Camp provides a taste of all that Tawonga has to offer: song sessions, Shabbat, boating on the lake, arts and crafts, the challenge course, hiking to and dipping in the river, yoga, stargazing, specialized workshops and opportunities to make new friends for all members of the family.

Families have ample opportunities to enjoy Camp together, as well as fun morning care for children two and up while adults enjoy other program offerings. Children two and up are cared for by supportive counselors who provide fun programming including boating, baking, sports, archery, arts and crafts, gaga and more!

As a community, we celebrate Shabbat with singing, dancing and a delicious Friday night dinner followed by participatory, kid-friendly services in our beautiful outdoor sanctuary on Saturday morning. Tawonga’s weekend programs are the ultimate family getaway, to unplug and immerse in nature and community, relax, unwind and have some serious fun!
