Our family programs in the Bay Area keep the warm and welcoming spirit of Tawonga alive all year long. Like all Tawonga programs, our local family events typically incorporate Jewish celebration, music and community building.
Continuing Connection All Year Long
The Tawonga community doesn’t end when the summer does! Join us throughout the year for opportunities to connect, celebrate Jewish holidays, and build community together. From family hikes and hands-on workshops like babka making to our annual Passover gathering and other special events, there are so many ways to connect to Tawonga and bring a little camp magic into the Bay Area.

Family Volunteer Days
Tawonga’s family volunteer days are a wonderful way to walk the walk of tikkun olam – repairing the world. Families spend the morning giving back to their local communities in partnership with organizations like the San Francisco Food Bank and Glide Memorial Church. Tawonga staff members begin the program with an opening circle that lets families get to know each other before getting to work. Best suited for families with kids eight and older.
