August Family Camp

Wednesday, August 19 – Sunday, August 23, 2026

A man stands on grass with a young girl in a purple dress in front of him. Another young girl, wearing a blue shirt, sits on his shoulders with her arms stretched out and smiling. Trees and a house are in the background. A young child in a blue Rimah Family Camp shirt and cap feeds grass to a white horse through a wooden fence on a sunny day, with green trees in the background. A group of children and a few adults sit and stand around a campfire, roasting marshmallows on sticks, with trees in the background and someone playing guitar.

Family camp has it all – amazing food, amazing programs for kids and adults, and an opportunity to relax!

Experience the magic of Camp Ramah New England together, as a family.

Our 5 day, all-inclusive experience on our beautiful site in Western Massachusetts is filled with sports, arts, ruach, dancing and so much more!

We loved our experience at family camp! Our toddlers thrived in an environment where they could be independent and explore new activities, and we grown ups really appreciated the chance to be fully present with our kids and the other families in attendance. What a blessing it was to paddle out on a canoe together, roast marshmallows around a bonfire, and spend a day celebrating Shabbat outdoors in community!

August Family Camp Packing List

Accommodations

Standard Bunk

This is the classic rustic camp experience! You’ll be staying in one of our regular camper bunks. The only difference is, you’ll have it all to yourself! Each family, no matter how big or small, will have an entire bunk to themselves. You’ll notice there’s lots of room, and you probably won’t use the whole thing. That’s okay, enjoy it!

Details

Rustic private bathroom with 2 toilets, 2 showers, and 2 sinks – indoors. (We don’t have any “shower houses” at Ramah).
Electricity, including overhead lights and plenty of outlets
Camp-style bunk beds.
No heating or air conditioning – we will provide fans and recommend that you bring layers to wear at night; it could get chilly!

This is the “village” where our oldest campers live during the summer. The K’far (village) has 2 buildings, each with 4 sleeping rooms and 2 large, shared bathrooms. Each family will be assigned a room to themselves (normally sleeps 10-12 campers), as well as access to a large shared bathroom.
