About Ramah Day Camp Greater DC (RDC)
Ramah Day Camp Greater DC is a warm and welcoming Jewish community where children entering pre-kindergarten through rising 6th grade build lifelong friendships, grow socially and emotionally, and experience Jewish values in a joyful camp setting. Located in Germantown, MD, we serve families from across the Greater Washington region. Campers enjoy swimming, sports, arts & crafts, music, nature, Israel programming, farm activities, and more, all within the spirited and supportive environment of Ramah.
Our classic program welcomes approximately 240 campers each week, with an additional 40 campers at our smaller satellite campus. A dedicated team of 80–100 staff members bring camp to life each week. Some campers, and some staff, benefit from additional inclusion support, and the Rosh Tikvah plays a key role in guiding, mentoring, and ensuring that every member of our community has what they need for success.
