Fanan! Fanan means awesome and our first week was just that. Chanichim (campers) are getting to know their counselors, meeting new friends, enjoying all of the incredible programs at camp, and preparing for Zimriyah. As we go to press, we are eagerly preparing for Shishi Al Ha'Migrash, our weekly Friday Shabbat celebration. Wishing our Ramah family a Shabbat Shalom!
Ma Nishma? Fanan!

Edah News
Every Friday, we will post highlights from each edah (division) on the Ramah Nyack website. Click on the name of an edah below to read this week's update.
Every summer we welcome an exceptional mishlachat to our Ramah Nyack family. Our staff from Israel work in all areas of camp. They share their passion for Israel, and their excitement spills onto the Migrash each day. This year we have sixty shlichim, our largest group ever. Click here or on the image above to watch a video of our Mishlachat arriving in camp.
Teva at Ramah Nyack
Each day, camp offers new and exciting ways for our chanichim to experience the variety of teva (nature) and wildlife around camp. In the past four days, we've collected crayfish and frogs from the stream behind the Teva house. Some campers found a crayfish with one claw. Of course, all animals in our Teva home are returned to their natural habitat before Shabbat.
