Women's Retreat
April 4-6, 2025
The redwoods are calling you! Gather the women in your life and come spend a weekend of rejuvenation, connection and joyful Judaism at the Koret Conference Center at Camp Newman. A perfect balance of nostalgic camp fun and the opportunity to nurture yourself, body, mind and soul. Our 2nd annual Women’s Retreat will offer classic camp activities like climbing the Alpine Tower, hiking and s’mores by the campfire as well as inspiring workshops, a joyful Shabbat celebration and time to unplug. This multi-generational weekend is open to all who identify as female and are 21+ (as alcohol will be available and served). Come with friends, family or on your own — and leave with deeper connections: to yourself, to nature and the beautiful tapestry of Jewish womenhood.
