Ramah Day Camp in Nyack

Joyful Judaism, Instilling Confidence, Awe Inspiring Moments, Creative Expression, Nurturing Role Models

At Ramah, we provide children who are entering Pre-K through 9th grade with the best camping experience – in a setting of love, friendship, wonder and discovery, a setting where Judaism is integral to daily activities.

Your child’s well-being is our most important consideration. We make sure that each camper is safe, happy and secure and that summer will be a time of growth, excitement, learning and fun!

In addition to our general program, Ramah is proud to offer Shaar, a Hebrew Immersion program. Shaar campers engage in the full camp schedule – entirely in Hebrew. All aspects of the day are conducted solely in Hebrew, giving children an opportunity to gain proficiency as they participate in the myriad of activities that make camp magical.

*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers
