Daily Activities

Camp Ramah has a wealth of chugim (specialty activities) that provide campers with an opportunity to develop skills and experience activities they've never before attempted. At Ramah we are extraordinarily proud not only of the variety of activities offered but also of the high level of expertise of our instructors.

Naomi will feel the thrill of accomplishment when, after much struggle, she climbs to the top of "Jacob's ladder" on our ropes course and waves down at her friends waiting 30 feet below.

When he gets home from camp, Benjamin will want to play over and over again the DVD of the mini-movie that he and his friends wrote, starred in, and edited in our video chug.

After learning the skill of silk painting, Anna will enjoy showing off the gorgeous pillow, emblazoned with the names of all of her friends and bunk-mates, that she made herself in Omanut (our Visual Arts center).

Every two weeks, campers are given the opportunity to develop their skills in the chug of their choice. These include:

Photography
Video
Newspaper
Archery
Ropes/Adventure Course
Boating
Drama
Nature/Scouting Skills
Woodworking
Arts and Crafts

The Daily Schedule

We begin each day with tefillah – morning prayer services. For younger campers, these are age-appropriate services where campers learn the service and practice leading it. For older campers, these services are entirely camper lead – campers lead the tefillot, read Torah, have aliyot, and take on other leadership roles in the service. While teaching basic skills, our emphasis is on making tefillah a meaningful and spiritual experience.

After breakfast, campers enjoy four hours of activities before a hot lunch. Lunch is followed by menuchah (rest time) and several more activities before dinner. Each day, two hours are devoted to education (discussion groups, projects and games), another hour to instructional swim, and another hour to instructional sport. Two activity periods each day are spent according to camper’s choice: sports, art, drama, photography, nature, archery, or other specialties. After dinner, each edah (division) has a peulat erev (evening activity) that consists of games, sports, performances and/or other special events.
