• If you are staying in a cabin, you can select your preference (stay in a cabin with other male-identifying guests, stay in a cabin with other female-identifying guests, stay in a cabin with people of all genders) and indicate if there are specific people with whom you’d prefer to share your bunk.
• Hotel rooms are based on minimum double occupancy. You can indicate if there is a specific person with whom you would like to share your room; otherwise, we will do our best to house you with someone from your Gesher year.

You can invite up to 2 additional people to share your room with you for a total of 3 or 4 guests per room. Additional guests will only be charged the cabin rate ($180/person).

Payment Schedule

• Due at Registration: A non-refundable deposit for each participant will be processed.
• December 19, 2026: Full payment due. No refunds are offered after this date. See ‘Cancellation Policy’.

Payment can be made via credit card, e-check, or by mailing a check. If paying via credit card, a 2.5% fee will be added to cover the processing fees charged to Ramah Darom by the credit card companies. There is no fee to pay via e-check or mailed check. Please ensure mailed checks reach our Atlanta office by the payment due date indicated.

We strongly encourage purchasing Trip Protection Insurance. This insurance must be purchased before your final payment is made! While we understand that unexpected life events can happen between registration and the retreat, please note that our refund policies are based on the significant upfront costs we incur once your registration is confirmed. As a result, we regret that we cannot provide any refunds after December 19, 2025, for any reason.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing to retreats@ramahdarom.org.

Cabins

These are the cabins you lived in as a camper! Cabins are spacious and nestled throughout the campus. Each cabin offers a dorm-style bunking area and private twin rooms with shared stalls, showers, and sinks. Cabin rates are based on shared space. Linens are provided, but beds are not made up. The private room within each cabin is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hotel Rooms

There are 4 hotel buildings on our 185-acre campus. All hotel rooms have a private bathroom, heating, and air conditioning, a dresser, a table with two chairs, a Keurig-style coffee maker, a mini-fridge, complimentary toiletries, and bed and bath linens. Most rooms have 2 queen beds, and a few have 1 king bed or 2 full beds. A limited number of connecting rooms are available, and some hotel rooms are ADA-accessible.
