2026 WJC Shabbaton Family Camp

We are so excited to announce the upcoming WJC Shabbaton Family Camp weekend retreat! We hope that you and your family will be able to join us for a meaningful, fun-filled, community building experience.

Join us for a chance to:

Build connections: Get to know other families in the WJC community
Break from technology: Children can run, walk, and play sports with their friends
Connect with nature: Enjoy a meditative weekend that stimulates all the senses
And much, much more!

This is our second retreat in two years and a not to miss event for WJC families. We had many families attend in 2024 and numerous strong connections were formed, both children and adults. Past attendees told us they feel a stronger sense of community and connection at WJC since attending. We’re looking forward to spending time with you and our WJC community and continuing this great WJC tradition.
