Retreat 1 Information!

I love our weekends at Camp Ramah.  Getting to spend so much time with the fourth through sixth graders and watching them come together as an amazing community is so wonderful!  October 19^th-20^th was a very full weekend.  We kicked off the weekend with a delicious shabbat dinner followed by spirited ruach led by our awesome counselor Gabe Kachuck.  After a beautiful kabbalat shabbat service with Rabbi Silver, we broke into small groups to begin a conversation about what we are passionate about and what our “callings” in life are (to this point as most of us are still figuring that out).  We related this conversation to the week’s parsha, Noah.  Then it was off to the cabins to rest up for our big day.  Saturday was full of activities from morning until night including alternative shabbat morning services (meditation and nature hikes), a Torah service where we created the sounds of a rain storm, a relay race and a talent show!  Sunday morning zoomed by.  After breakfast and tefillah, we took time to create Chanukah care packages to send to soldiers overseas and wrote them cards thanking them for their service.  Then we hopped on the bus and came home!  Our family retreat weekend is January 18-20^th, I can’t wait to head back to camp!
