Sababa is excited to host three day Spiritual Weekend Getaways in Cocoa Beach, Florida. 

Take the opportunity to bring your teen community on a Jewish weekend experience that will immerse them in the magic and majesty of the beach, adding the right amount of spiritual practice, community service and adventure.

At Sababa we are committed to helping young people Restore, Refresh and Connect.

RESTORE - The ocean is the origin and the engine of all life on this planet — and it is under serious threat. Up to 12 million metric tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year. That’s about 26 billion pounds — or the equivalent of more than 100,000 blue whales — every single year. By 2050, ocean plastic will outweigh all of the ocean’s fish. During this trip we will clean up the beach and learn to partner with organizations that are dedicated to cleaning the ocean.

REFRESH - A 2020 review of more than 30 studies of blue spaces agreed that time spent near water in nature promotes calmness and supports mental health and well-being. During this trip we will provide surf lessons and spend a day at the beach embracing the ocean and the beauty of the beach.

CONNECT - A Dr. Lisa Miller study shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances, and are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers. During this trip we will practice mindfulness and meditation techniques rooted from Jewish tradition, helping you gain a spiritual connection in the serene surrounding of the beach and ocean.

Perfect for groups of 15-30 teenagers and adult chaperones, our Spiritual Getaway can include:

• Surf Lessons in Cocoa Beach

• Sababa's Self Actualization and Mindfulness Programming

• A stay at an Upscale AirBnb to promote communal living and communal responsibility

• Friday Night Services and dinner at University of Central Florida Hillel

• Sababa Style Shabbat AM services at the beach

• A trip to the Kennedy Space Center

• Hands-on Community Service Projects that will offer volunteer service hours for students

*Itineraries can be flexible based on your group’s preferences.

The trip is designed for groups to land Friday Afternoon and Depart Sunday Afternoon. Cost per participant will range between $850 and $1,000 per person plus airfare to and from Orlando International Airport. (Final cost can vary based on date, number of participants and activities selected)
