Grandparents Weekend

Create special memories to treasure forever.

Grandparents Weekend is one of our most popular family programs, bringing grandparents and grandchildren (ages 4-12) together for a memorable weekend. It’s an experience designed to strengthen and celebrate this important family connection while having fun and making lifelong memories.

It all happens at our Perlstein Retreat Center in Wisconsin, nestled on the scenic shores of Blass Lake adjacent to the amenity-filled Camp Chi grounds. A typical day is filled with activities led by professional staff and plenty of time to explore on your own.

Your family will love the resort’s casual atmosphere, natural surroundings and comfortable lodging. Kosher meals and snacks are served daily.

This program is completed for 2023.
