Camp Ramah Sasson: Jewish Young Professionals Retreat
March 6-8, 2026
A complimentary weekend experience for Jewish young professionals (post-college age and beyond) who experienced the loss of a parent or sibling. Partners/Spouses are welcome.
This welcoming, inclusive, and egalitarian Jewish retreat will combine a joyful, camp-style Shabbat celebration and traditional camp activities (crafts, outdoor adventures, friendly competitions) with grief education and emotional support. The program is designed for young professionals (post-college age and beyond) who lost a parent or sibling. Partners/spouses (if applicable) are welcome.
This weekend is free of charge to all participants.
(Need based transportation subsidies available)
- Open and free of charge to Young Professionals who have lost a parent and sibling. Partners/spouses are welcome.
- Commitment Deposit: To help us plan, we ask for a fully refundable $100 commitment deposit (per registration form) when you register. This deposit will be fully returned after attending the Shabbaton or if you cancel with at least 4 weeks’ notice (February 6, 2026). This will help us best prepare to welcome you, while keeping the retreat free of charge.
- All participants must be post-college age.
- After completing the registration form, participants will be contacted by someone on the Ramah Sasson leadership team to schedule a follow-up meeting to complete enrollment.
What you can look forward to:
- A joyful and meaningful Shabbat celebration
- The warmth of camp community and fun activities
- Opportunities for connection, reflection, and healing
- Supportive conversations and community connection around life’s challenges, resilience, and personal growth
- Innovative and relevant Jewish learning in an inclusive, egalitarian space
- Delicious and kosher chef-prepared meals
This experience will begin with lunch on Friday March 6th and conclude after lunch on Sunday March 8th.
All participants will be housed in rustic but fully winterized and heated accommodations. Housing will be shared and assigned to best meet the needs of all participants and allow Camp Ramah Sasson to include as many participants as possible.
