Daily Activities

Etgar

A key component of Camp Ramah in New England’s programming is our Etgar Program. Etgar is the Hebrew word for “challenge.” Our Etgar Program is a series of outdoor adventures that are designed to give our campers new experiences in the great outdoors, and to challenge them both mentally and physically. The Etgar Program is also designed to teach our campers about environmentalism and Judaism’s connection to teva (nature).

Our older campers are able to select from a variety of multi-day outdoor experiences. These include: hiking the Appalachian trail, biking, canoeing, rock-climbing, caving, and more!

Younger campers are all given an opportunity to experience the outdoors through one of our in-camp overnights. Interested campers are also given an opportunity to participate in a Nature/Scouting Skills chug (elective activity). In this activity, kids have a chance to learn about nature and Judaism’s connection to the environment, as well as to develop basic camping/scouting skills such as knots, lighting fires, and outdoor cooking. Campers also learn about and work on the up-keep of the various gardens around camp (in particular the large garden by the Tzad Aleph tennis courts).
