The DSSJEC staff specializes in running Jewish retreats. From the patient group manager who will work with you to plan the setup of the rooms and public facilities, to the grounds staff that understands the needs of a Jewish group, you will experience top rate costumer service. We are dedicated to Jewish continuity, and want to ensure your guests get the most benefit out of their stay here.

We offer food plans ranging from a basic school type menu to an upscale banquet type presentation. We work with you to tailor make your menu based on your needs and cost. We are most reasonably priced on all levels. We maintain high kashrus standards and groups who desire may bring their own mashgiach.

We try to work with each group to craft a setup that balances their needs with the need to cut costs. Groups can choose to provide their own bedding for all or part of the group. Groups can choose waiter service or self serve. They can also bring in cold kosher snacks to serve, although not from the kitchen.There are many other optional amenities to choose from, such as extra cots and refrigerators in the rooms, bonfires, A/V equipment, gameroom, and sports equipment.

We feature an indoor pool, spacious lobbies, social hall with stage, audio/visual equipment, game show set, bounce house, shul, petting zoo, outdoor courts and fields, gameroom, library and more

One of the best parts of the DSSJEC is that it is like your entire group staying in one huge house. That contributes to the magical moments of growth and inspiration that are a regular occurrence at the center. Therefore, it is rare that we would have more than one group. (It might happen if 2 groups agree to share the facility, and in that case, the staff would work with the groups to make it work.)

We host many organizations, schools, chesed, outreach and chizuk. Groups are from all ideologies; yeshivas and bais yaakovs, chassidish, yeshivish, and other streams of Judaism. We also host family gatherings and simchos.

We have groups over Shabbos and groups tha come during the weekdays. Groups sleep over one night to a week or more. We entertain day groups as well. We are open from September to mid-June. We are not open as a retreat center during the summer season. We are available for yomim tovim.

Our facility was built to be extremely flexible. Therefore, we accommodate groups from 25 to 225. We are happy to discuss whether your group is right for our facility.

We will gladly provide references of groups similar to yours.

Booking for the season generally opens after Pesach. We tend to book up quickly, but there are always changes and cancellations, sometimes even at the last minute. Don't hesitate to call and inquire. Its happened many times that we are able to accommodate late bookings.
