Why Ramah Day Camp
Jewish Life at Camp
Nourishing Jewish identity
A defining quality of the Ramah experience, your camper will grow in an immersive Jewish environment at Ramah Day Camp. With Hebrew in the air, Jewish dugmaot (role models) at every turn, and positive Jewish experiences all around, study after study shows that a Ramah experience greatly strengthens your camper's Jewish identity, creating a life-long connection between them and their Jewish tradition.
Daily Prayers & Spirituality
Ramah seeks to sow the seeds of spirituality in all of our chanichim (campers). The Ramah approach consists of daily t’fillah (prayer) experiences, where our campers not only learn the prayers of our Jewish tradition, but also do so in an environment which fosters creativity, a love of music, ruach (spirit), and fun!
Shabbat & Havdallah
Celebrating Shabbat is a hallmark of the Ramah Day Camp experience. Every Friday afternoon we have a special musical Shabbat celebration as an entire camp that is open to our camp families and local community.
Likewise, every Monday morning we begin our services with the recitation of Havdallah, the traditional prayer for separating between Shabbat and the regular week. This Havdallah celebration allows us to fully embrace every exciting week at Ramah Day Camp.
