Youth & Families Programs


Welcome 5785 with the whole family! Services are broken down by age group, and are each about 45 minutes long. Our Yachad and camp team host children’s activities on site, and we encourage families to stay, play, and connect.

In addition, we have a Teen Program for CBE members in 7th–12th grade. You do not need to be a Yachad student to participate in the Teen Program.

PLEASE NOTE: While all are welcome at Youth & Families services, new this year, we are asking members and non-members to register.
