Temple Israel's 2018 retreat at Camp Hess-Kramer in Malibu was a wonderful and amazing experience!
At the end of the weekend, my dad told me he didn't want to leave. It was great getting to know many of the young families that attend the temple's religious school and also it was fun to get to know some of the older people that are Temple Israel members better.
Of course I couldn't resist bringing my mountain scooter and regular scooter and I enjoyed exploring the place on my scooters, but also on foot.
The food was wonderful too. Also, celebrating Shabbat on Saturday morning outside was super cool. It was neat to roast marshmallows around the campfire on Saturday night after Havdalah. I enjoyed hiking on my own and exploring the path from the camp that went right to the beach!
And...the Sunday morning prayers while overlooking the ocean with the rabbi was so cool!
The best part of the retreat was making new friends and getting to know some of the people I've met at the temple better. The closing circle on Sunday was a special time for everyone!
I also enjoyed showing off my "scooter ballet" skills at the Talent Show and seeing some really impressive talent from those who participated.
My dad and I hope to attend the retreat again and again!
