Come with friends or on your own – no mahjong experience needed!
From Friday, September 4 at 3:00 PM to Monday, September 7 at 11:00 AM, join us for a fun-filled, adults-only getaway featuring mahjong, great food, community, and camp activities like lake time, pickleball, and crafts!
Whether you’re a beginner learning mahjong for the first time or an experienced player looking for plenty of table time, this weekend is designed for everyone. Enjoy a relaxed camp atmosphere with mahjong tables running throughout the weekend, optional lessons for those who want to learn or sharpen their skills, and classic camp experiences like Shabbat, lake time, crafts, games, and evening social activities.
This adults-only (18+) weekend is the perfect getaway to relax, play, and connect. Come with your mahjong besties, couples, mother-daughter duos, siblings, or a whole group of friends. Teams and friend groups are encouraged – many groups learn mahjong together and make it part of their shared tradition, from tennis teams to couples and other groups of friends.
Not a mahjong player? That’s totally fine! You’re welcome to come just for the camp experience. There will be plenty of other games, activities, and opportunities to relax, socialize, and enjoy the beauty of camp.
Come play, laugh, and connect with friends – old and new – at Camp Solomon Schechter.
