Sports
Ramah’s athletic program reflects its strong commitment to sports and the outdoors. Campers swim daily and participate in at least one instructional sport each day, in addition to playing during their free time. Our athletic/outdoors staff totals over twenty-five full-time instructors.
Ramah maintains two outdoor sports areas, one for the younger campers on Tzad Aleph and one for older campers on Tzad Bet, each with its own playing fields, equipment, tennis courts, and basketball courts. We also have a large social hall/gymnasium where campers play basketball, volleyball and floor games during inclement weather. A staff of professional instructors organizes and runs a full schedule throughout the summer of games, instruction and competition in a wide range of sports including: aerobics, archery, baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee. Many special sporting events are also held throughout the summer, including a road race and “Yom Berkshires,” a day of sport competition against Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.
Archery
We have a complete archery range at Camp Ramah in New England, where campers can learn all the basics of archery. After a lengthy safety orientation, campers are fitted to properly-sized equipment and begin learning how to shoot. They learn the procedures of an archery range, and are challenged to hit targets from varying distances. With time and focus, many of our campers are able to become highly accurate!
