Families choose Camp Ramah because we offer so much more than just a summer camp. Here’s just some of what makes us truly special:

Tikvah Program: Embracing Inclusion

Our Tikvah program ensures that campers of all abilities have the opportunity to fully participate in the Ramah experience. This exceptional program fosters inclusion, building a community where all campers can thrive together, while developing empathy, friendship, and understanding.

The Agam: Our Stunning Waterfront

The waterfront (Agam) is one of the highlights of Camp Ramah. Whether it’s swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or sailing, campers enjoy a wide range of activities on our beautiful lake, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Canadian wilderness.

Unforgettable Shabbat Experience

Shabbat at Camp Ramah is nothing short of magical. From welcoming the day of rest with joyous song and prayer on a bamah in front of our agam to celebrating with delicious meals, communal activities, and ruach galore, Shabbat is the heart of our camp experience. It is a time of peace, reflection, and togetherness, creating lasting memories and a deep connection to Jewish tradition.

Mishlachat & Israeli Campers and Families

Our camp is enriched by our Mishlachat (Israeli staff), and our Israeli campers and families, who bring a special energy and authentic Israeli culture to our camp community. Through interaction with our Israeli staff and participation in programs that highlight modern Israel, campers develop a deeper connection to the land and people of Israel.

Lifelong Friendships & Incredible Community

The sense of community at Camp Ramah is unparalleled. Campers build lifelong friendships in a warm, inclusive environment that feels like home. Whether it’s around the campfire, during cabin activities, or in the chadar (dining hall), every moment at Camp Ramah is an opportunity to connect and grow within a supportive and loving Jewish community.

Personal Growth & Leadership Development

Through a diverse range of activities – from sports and the arts to leadership development – we nurture each camper’s individuality, building confidence, resilience, and leadership skills. Camp Ramah helps campers discover their strengths and encourages them to take on new challenges.

Choosing Camp Ramah in Canada means choosing a vibrant, nurturing community where campers build strong Jewish identities, form lifelong connections, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Our unique programs, stunning natural environment, and exceptional staff ensure that every camper’s summer is meaningful and fun.
