Immersive Family Camp Weekends and Rejuvenating Adult Retreats to unplug in the stunning beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and build Jewish community
About Family Camp Weekends
Family Camp is an all-inclusive experience that includes rustically comfortable housing, delicious meals, free-flowing Peet’s Coffee, and a full weekend of programs, activities, and childcare. Join for a taste of all that Tawonga has to offer: song sessions, communal Shabbat celebrations, boating on the lake, arts and crafts, cooking in the garden kitchen, the challenge course, river dips, yoga, stargazing, specialized workshops, and more.
Children two and up join morning day groups staffed by supportive counselors for fun programming, including boating, baking, sports, archery, arts and crafts, and games. Meanwhile, parents choose from a menu of adult offerings, from yoga and hiking to expert-led workshops. After lunch, families explore activities together in the afternoon.
As a community, we celebrate Shabbat in style on Friday evening and Saturday with a delicious Friday night dinner, singing, and dancing followed by inspiring kid-friendly morning services in our beautiful outdoor sanctuary.
A Tawonga Family Camp is the ultimate family getaway, to unplug and immerse in nature and community, relax, and have some serious fun!
