Welcome to Camp Ramah!
“Ramah was 100% instrumental to my personal development making me into the person I am today. Camp has shaped every aspect of my being. Thank you to my mentors and friends who have taught me what it means to be a leader, and how to live a meaningful, Jewish life.” Emily Meister Odesser, Ramah camper & staff member
“Camp is the single most important institution in my life and has given me my best friends, the big and little siblings I always dreamed of, my best memories, ignited my Jewish identity, and has even guided me on the path towards my dream career.” Maddy Mermelstein, Ramah camper & staff member

The Magic of Camp Ramah:
For over 60 years, Ramah New England campers have shared unforgettable summers filled with learning, lasting friendships, and a love of being Jewish.
Built around a beautiful lake in the small town of Palmer, Massachusetts, Camp Ramah offers state-of -the-art programs and facilities that invite campers to explore all sorts of interests — from sports to climbing to theater arts to video production and everything in between.
Ramah campers connect with their Judaism, every day, in traditional and innovative ways. Camp Ramah’s welcoming community and attentive staff make sure every camper has their best summer ever.
