Adults Unplugged Weekend
NEW program!
You asked for it! Building on the success of our popular adults-only Men’s and Women’s weekends, we are thrilled to announce our NEW Adults Unplugged program for adults (21+) of any gender. Relax, play, connect, unplug, and immerse yourself at Tawonga’s beautiful site for our first-ever Adults Unplugged. Nestled at the doorstep of Yosemite National Park, this program is everything you didn’t know you needed!
When
October 10 – 12, 2025
Friday – Sunday
Who
Anyone who is 21 or older. Bring your partner, parents, adult children, friends, former bunkmates or come solo and meet new people!
Why?
The community has asked, and we are heeding the call! Free from the stresses of work, home and urban life, Adults Unplugged will be a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. It combines the best parts of Tawonga’s programs and will enable participants to plug into nature while unplugging from daily life.
Program Overview
Adults Unplugged will provide a space for multitudes of experiences, from active, lighthearted fun activities to relaxing on the back porch to finding spiritual moments and having specialized workshops with depth. Showcasing our new garden-kitchen, participants will have the option to cook, hike, get deep, float and experience Jewish ritual in community. Tawonga is your oyster!
These three days and two nights will be an opportunity for you to refocus, relax, have fun, and build community. You will have the chance to…
- Unplug in nature through morning hikes in the Sierra wilderness, dips in the Tuolumne River, adventures on our high ropes course, yoga and more
- Sweat it out with baseball, basketball, ultimate frisbee and more…we may even get a tournament going!
- Enjoy garden to table cooking demonstrations and activities at our brand new Garden Kitchen!
- Spend the afternoons sampling Tawonga’s many program spaces like the pool, garden kitchen, Tuolumne River, arts & crafts, lake and of course, ping pong
- Tap into Judaism and spirituality through song sessions and a lively Shabbat celebration
- Chill on the back porch of the Dining Hall during daily Happy Hours with delicious snacks and drinks and enjoy tasty meals prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff
- Deepen your skills and knowledge through dynamic guided workshops led by expert facilitators on career, communication, spirituality, relationships and more
- Dance the night away at our Saturday Silent Disco dance party in the dining hall!
Anyone who is 21 or older is welcome – bring your partner, parents, adult children, old Tawonga bunkmates or friends! Bring a crew of your friends and live together in a cabin – or come solo and meet new friends! Please note this is a kid-free weekend. This weekend includes shared housing (you will have the opportunity to request bunkmates) and can expect to share with 2-5 other people.
