Special Programs Once a summer, our younger campers (PPK-1st graders) have an extended day of special programming that includes dinner. Some are annual highlights and some vary each summer. Parents are invited to many of our special programs.

• Yom USA (USA Day) Yom USA is a red, white and blue filled pre-July 4th celebration that includes a camp wide barbecue and a fun-filled day of patriotic themed activities.

• Yom Yisrael (Israel Day) Yom Yisrael is a much anticipated day at Ramah Day Camp. After receiving their passports and boarding their flight, campers are transported to Israel for a unique day of cultural, geographic and historic exploration, special attractions, and magical moments.

• Maccabiah (Color War) Another highlight! Healthy competition, sportsmanship, team work, ruach (spirit), trivia and silly games create days of non-stop excitement and fun. Our camp-wide Apache relay followed by team presentations and cheers brings Maccabiah to a close.

• Trips and Undernights/Overnights Each session, campers enjoy and look forward to our camp trips. Exciting destinations include orchards, the zoo, water parks, aquarium, hikes, and camping experiences, once a summer. Our younger campers (PPK–1st graders) have an extended day of special programming including dinner.

Our older campers (2nd–7th graders) enjoy evening programming and an overnight each month.

Our oldest campers use acquired outdoor adventure skills to participate in an overnight camping experience in the Pocono Mountains.

• ZimRikkudiah Our whole camp will enjoy performing Hebrew and Israeli song and dances during this special event.

Ramah Vocabulary

In order to achieve a Hebrew environment at Ramah, we use Hebrew for most places, names, events, activities, etc.

We use the Hebrew terms exclusively so that campers come to identify the place or activity by its Hebrew name.
