First in best dressed for this special event featuring comfortable family-style lodge accommodation, tasty Kosher food at a dinky-di, laid-back, come-and-go-freely facility.  Get away from the devices and deadlines and enjoy a rich, joyous Shabbat.   Pesach resources will be available for purchase on Sunday and creative educational materials provided to enrich your celebration for years to come.  Don't wait!  Register today and come along for songs, stories, games, swimming, ballgames, boating, archery, bonfires, and have some serious fun!
