Winter Retreat Weekend 2026 is a three-day, two-night experiential program designed for MD, PhD, and MD-PhD students to unwind, connect, and build community in a relaxed, off-campus setting. Set against the backdrop of the Pocono Mountains, the weekend combines outdoor winter activities, indoor waterpark access, and intentional, student-led bonding experiences.
Over the course of the retreat, participants will have the opportunity to engage in skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and lodge-based relaxation, with discounted lift tickets, tubing sessions, and equipment rentals available. The production integrates unstructured free time with lightly facilitated social activities aimed at fostering cross-cohort and cross-program relationships.
A key feature of the experience is full access to the Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark, offering an alternative to snow sports and ensuring inclusive enjoyment for participants of all comfort levels with winter activities. Lodging is group-based (e.g., six-person rooms) to maximize social interaction, with accommodations available for students observing Shabbat.
Transportation is provided from campus to Camelback Resort and back, simplifying logistics and supporting broad participation.
Significant others and Einstein families are warmly welcome to join this weekend retreat.
Overall, Winter Retreat Weekend 2026 is produced as a holistic wellness and community-building experience, balancing recreation, rest, and relationship-building at a key midpoint in the academic year.
