Join us for a weekend away from the norm with the people you love.
Our Family Weekends are a great way to leave your daily schedule behind and "hang out" in a beautiful outdoor setting where cell phones don't work and the wind and the babbling creek are the sounds outside your door

Each family is housed in a cabin or Sukkah of their own. Cabins sleep up to 12 and Sukkahs sleep up to 8. The cost includes housing, activities and meals.

What is "Family" ?? Your "family" can be the people you live with, your extended family, your sister and her kids with grandma and grandpa, too, or the people who are as close as family without the actually bloodlines, etc. As long as you're willing to be housed together, you can determine your own "family"

climb aboard!
