Winter Retreat
Each year, Congregation Shaarei Shamayim holds an overnight Saturday/Sunday winter retreat. This is a wonderful opportunity for members to spend time together, build community, celebrate Shabbat, and have fun in a rustic setting. Our next retreat will be January 18-19, 2025.
Enjoy plenty of programming for adults, teens, and children, as well as singing, great conversation, and lots of fun. Consider coming on your own, with your family, or with a friend.
We hold adult discussions while children and teens have their own groups for crafts and games in the gym supervised by counselors.
There is free time, with options for a hayride and outdoor campfire, gym time, hiking or cross-country skiing, meditation, and board games. We’ll then have dinner together followed by havdalah and singing. We plan to show a film Saturday night, and we’ll have more programming Sunday morning. We provide some babysitting in the evening if needed.
