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

Hiking trails, swimming pools, and open meadows set the scene for a summer of adventure on the 75-acre Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds in the forest of the Staten Island Greenbelt. For over 60 years, campers entering Kindergarten-8th grade have been transported on air-conditioned buses from convenient locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn for a summer in the country, so close to the city.

Our professional staff empowers campers to be themselves in a supportive, nurturing environment. With innovative, kid-charged activities from nature and science, to the arts and athletics, in addition to two daily periods of instructional and free swim, there’s something for everyone at NCDC.
