A vibrant center for lifelong learning, spiritual exploration and community building, the Omega Institute offers one special week each year where the entire campus is devoted to kids, parents, grandparents and families.
“Family Week offers time for parents to take workshops while their kids are in camps, and the whole community enjoys meals and evening activities together,” says Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder of Omega Institute. “There’s an energy of learning, fun and connection that welcomes families to come together, find like-minded friends, relax and enjoy.”
Held on Omega’s beautiful campus, the camp serves healthy food, and features a cafe for sweets and treats, Wellness Center for massages and treatments, lake for boating and kayaking, meditation sanctuary, walking trails, basketball and tennis/pickleball courts and ample opportunities to enjoy nature.
This year Family Week runs from July 27-August 1. Housing is available in comfortable cabins, but families can choose to pitch a tent or stay in tent cabins.
Kids camps are designed for children ages 3-18, and include: Little Forest People; Sports of All Sorts; Creating Comics, Graphic Novels and Cartoons; and The Wayfinder Experience for Teens.
Workshops for adults range from singing and fiber arts to yoga and pickleball. Family entertainment takes place every evening, and includes musical guests, game nights and karaoke. “Parents tell me that Family Week helps their family feel closer. There’s something about Omega that works magic on people of all ages,” Lesser says. “It gives each of us permission to be ourselves, accept others and create community.”
