Shabbatons bring out the best of CBI—community, services, learning, and fun—all in an immersive camp setting for a whole weekend! We’ll sleep in cabins, hold services outdoors, celebrate Havdalah around a campfire, sing, boat on the lake, learn in small groups, play games, and share plenty of great meals. There will be many opportunities for kids and adults of all ages.
Friday, October 23–Sunday, October 25, Camp Ramah, Palmer.
Registration is now open. We will close registration October 2, or when we reach capacity.
