Retreats at Congregation Beth Israel

Three organizations run retreats and trips for our members during the academic year – CBI, GFC, and NFTY.

Congregation Beth Israel Sponsored Retreats

CBI Teen Retreat - CLICK HERE FOR 2008 RETREAT REGISTRATION INFORMATION
February 1, 2, & 3, 2008 - At URJ Greene Family Camp
We’ve created this retreat for all of our pre-Confirmation (8th & 9th grades) and Confirmation (10th grade) students. We hope to run retreat weekends for more and more of our students each year – eventually including our 6th, 5th, and 4th graders as well. 
This year, we aim to bring as many of our 8th, 9th, and 10th graders as possible to our retreat weekend. This retreat is part of our curriculum. Therefore, we expect all of our 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students to attend.

CBI Retreat Fee:  
We encourage all of our 8th, 9th, and 10th graders to attend our Winter Retreat at URJ Greene Family Camp. In order to cover the costs of food, staff, transportation, and lodging at camp, we expect families to pay a fee of $180 per student.  Again, cost won’t stop any student from participating in Jewish education. As a result, we offer camperships for our retreat. If you need a retreat campership, please contact the rabbi who teaches your class.   Donations: Any family is welcome to donate toward our camperships for retreat attendees.
