Discovering our Best Selves in this Beautiful Stage of Life
September 28 – October 1, 2026
Camp L’Chaim invites you to step away from the everyday and into a soulful, joy-filled 4-day, 3-night Jewish retreat created especially for adults ages 60+. Set in the beauty of nature at BB Camp, this immersive experience offers space to reflect, connect, and celebrate the richness of this beautiful stage of life. L’Chaim Campers will deepen their exploration of the aging process and self-discovery through a Jewish lens
The retreat will be guided by nationally acclaimed Jewish educator and Modern Elder Academy facilitator Rabbi Deborah Newbrun. Through engaging workshops, reflective practices, and shared rituals, participants will explore aging as a sacred journey filled with wisdom, possibility, and purpose. Whether gathering in Chavurah groups, enjoying time outdoors, participating in artistic expression, or building new friendships, every moment is designed to nourish the spirit and spark joy.
You’ll leave Camp L’Chaim with fresh insight and a deeper sense of clarity and meaning, along with a supportive community that extends beyond the retreat.
Caregivers are warmly welcomed. A dedicated track for ages 35–55+ offers space for those caring for aging parents or spouses to connect, reflect, and receive guidance tailored to your experience, because tending to others begins with tending to yourself.
