This summer, we will be embarking on an exciting adventure to explore Judaism in the Great Outdoors at Glacier National Park in Montana, the most beautiful national park in the United States, as ranked #1. Our team includes world-renowned Torah educators and a seasoned guide to ensure that this experience is both educational and fun. Join us for a week-long trip to discover more about yourself and your Jewish roots.

We will be staying outside the park at our beautiful ranch in Whitefish, Montana. Each Day will consist of a combination of Torah learning, Group challenges, day hikes, and epic activities. You don’t need to carry heavy backpacks as we will provide all the necessary supplies.

We will be flying into Missoula (MSO), and if you need a pick-up from Kalispell, Montana (FCA), please get in touch with us before booking your flight.
