ABOUT US
Our Summer Staff
One of the things that sets Ramah Day Camp apart is our commitment to excellent tzevet (staff). Camp is led by experienced professionals, including educators and specialty staff who excel in their professional fields. Our team includes enthusiastic, dedicated young adults who are wonderful Jewish role models, many of whom attended Ramah as campers and love giving back to the next Ramah generation.
Our Staff
Madrichim (Counselors)
They bring their creativity, talents, experience with children, and passion for Jewish camping to create the best kayitz for your children. We are committed to providing intensive staff training and mentoring throughout the kayitz.
Mishlachat
Israeli Staff
Every summer we are proud to host Mishlachat (Israeli Emissaries), a cohort of Israelis who are either near the end of their army service or recently finished, to work at Ramah Day Camp. Run by the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the Summer Shlichim Program helps to strengthen the relationship between Americans and Israelis. Our Israeli staff contribute to every aspect of camp, helping chanichim (campers) and madrichim (counselors) form personal connections to Israel while significantly enhancing our Israel education program.
Division Heads
Rashei Edah
In addition to our young staff members, many of whom are alumni of Ramah Day Camp or Camp Ramah in the Poconos, we also have an amazing team of Rashei Edah (Division Heads) who serve as the main point of contact for camper families and ensure that each camper's kayitz (summer) is safe, nurturing, and fun.
