Join us for Ranch Camp's inaugural Young Adult Backpacking Weekend!
When?
Join us at Ranch Camp – August 21 – 24, 2025.
Who?
Anyone who has ever navigated the multi-faceted challenges of divorce or the end of a long-term relationship. Adults of all ages welcome.
Why?
Judaism offers guidance for many milestones right – birth, marriage, death – with prayers and traditional customs to honor life’s rites of passages. But when it comes to divorce, Jewish tradition historically only offers a Get (a divorce contract). This retreat seeks to fill that void by helping people who may feel broken, guilty, shame or in pain find their way back to wholeness – guided by Jewish healing rituals, communal support and professional expertise.

Sliding-Scale Pricing:
We are proud to offer a sliding-scale pricing model. The sliding-scale pricing model allows JCC Denver to offer programming that is accessible to anyone regardless of their access to wealth. Everyone deserves to be able to participate!
Tier 1: $150 | Tier 2: $200 | Tier 3: $250 |
Gear rental: $25 (includes…)
Participants are asked to be honest in evaluating their own circumstances and self-selecting the pricing tier that is right for them. In short, you should select a pricing tier based on the simplified criteria below.
Tier 1: If you stress about basic needs, but rarely miss them.
Tier 2: You are not worried about basic needs and have some expendable income.
Tier 3: You maintain a high standard of living and have access to expendable income.
