Camp Ramah in the Poconos

Creating lifelong Jewish connections, one happy camper at a time.

Camp Ramah in the Poconos is a Jewish overnight summer camp located in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains for kids and teens in grades 2-10. Programming includes swimming in a pool and a lake, waterfront activities, recently renovated sports facilities, creative and performing arts, camping, tripping, and more. Renovated bunks and many new improvements to our campus create a modern living and camping experience. Steeped in tradition, Camp Ramah in the Poconos has consistently built a warm, nurturing, and fun Jewish summer camp environment. We strive to create a place that your child will call their “home away from home” for the rest of their lives. Camp Ramah also offers several types of programming for children with special needs.
