Adult Shabbat Retreat at Camp Newman


There’s still a little space left!

It's not only kids who get to experience the joy of Jewish Camping! Join your PTBE clergy team Friday 3/29-Saturday 3/30 for a Shabbaton in the beautiful setting of (newly renovated) Camp Newman in Santa Rosa! We will pray, learn, hike, sing, and of course roast s’mores around the campfire - all the fun camp offers! Our theme will be “A Sanctuary in the Wilderness.”

Cost $280/person. Includes 4 meals and lodging.
Lodging For our overnight, PTBE has access to a limited number of rooms in either The Lodge or the Authentic Cabins. PTBE Staff will assign rooms on a first come, first serve basis. We will take into consideration all information shared on the registration form including: accessibility needs, party size, other individual/personal needs, etc.
Learn more about Camp Newman’s accommodations here.

Register here By March 22.
