Or Shalom Community Retreat

June 13-15, 2025

We're thrilled to return to beautiful Walker Creek Ranch in the hills of Marin County. Spend Friday afternoon til Sunday afternoon relaxing and talking, canoeing and hiking, singing, swimming, and studying. Enjoy a peaceful Shabbat under the towering trees.Treat yourself to a relaxing weekend or just spend one night, in a lodge room or  lovely campsite -- the choice is yours. This retreat is open to people of all ages, regardless of membership status.

Scholarship funds are available so ALL Or Shalom members can attend. Additionally, if you are a first-time retreat attendee, you are eligible for a scholarship of up to $250 per adult (full coverage for an adult camper for two nights), regardless of financial need, thanks to the gift of a generous donor. These funds are limited, and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

To request either a general (need-based) scholarship or a first-time retreat attendee scholarship, please complete the registration form and then contact Debbie, retreat coordinator, librarylil@gmail.com to make arrangements.

All registrations must be complete by May 11.
