9th grade can be a stressful year for students as they begin high school, explore new relationships, and start thinking about the future.

This life-changing weekend retreat focuses on issues of love, sexuality and relationships in a Jewish context and is specifically designed for our 9th graders to learn and grow in a safe environment.  The nationally recognized team of Dr. Charles Miron and Amy Miron, M.S. developed this wonderful program for teens to promote positive attitudes and clarify values to make responsible decisions.   This year’s retreat will be led by the Miron’s successor Rachel Simon, who has spent the last 15 years working alongside and being trained by them.  Rachel is a licensed Social Worker with extensive background in clinical social work, sexuality education, and gender identity.

The retreat will be held at TBA.  It will begin on Friday afternoon, Feb. 7 and will run until mid-day Sunday, Feb. 9, concluding with a parent information session.  Meals will be provided throughout the retreat.

Registration deadline – Friday, Dec. 20.

Prior to the retreat – A parent information session will be held by Zoom on Tues, Dec. 10^th from 6:45-7:45pm.  Zoom link will be sent via email to 9th grade families.
