PRE-TRIP (August 26 – 28): Whether you’re a first-timer or a frequent visitor to NYC, get ready to explore the Statue of Liberty, wander through the vibrant Lower East Side, take guided tours of Central Park and the picturesque High Line, visit Ellis Island, stroll through Times Square, and discover fascinating museums. Don’t miss this unique chance to experience New York City. Attendance is limited, so be sure to register early.
POST-TRIP: (September 1-2): Join fellow Mosaic Members for an overnight canoe and rustic camping trip along the Delaware River, which borders Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. This scenic and recreational river is perfect for canoeing and swimming. You’ll experience endless beauty, excitement, tranquility, and history. What better way to end a fantastic Labor Day weekend than paddling and camping overnight with fellow Mosaic Club members on the Delaware? This journey is intended for paddlers with basic to intermediate skills. With a limit of just 18 participants, we’ll pair those needing a paddling partner to ensure everyone enjoys a great experience.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Join us at the J.O.E. event, where volunteers are vital to our success! Your involvement makes recreational activities possible, and we warmly encourage you to participate. Volunteering gives you a chance to meet new friends and re-acquaint yourself with old ones. For instance, you can lead an exciting off-site hike, host a workshop at camp, or become a member of our friendly ‘welcome committee’ on-site. Please keep in mind that volunteering does not come with discounts.
Note: The Jewish Outdoor Escape is hosted by Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America, not your local club or chapter. To attend, you must register and pay through the event website. RSVPing through this meetup helps us promote it and encourages others to join, but it does not register you for the weekend.
