Kol Ramah, Week 6
August 4, 2017 / 12 Av 5777

On any given day, our chanichim perform mitzvot around camp and in our surrounding community. Each edah has engaged in g'milut chasadim (acts of loving kindness) to beautify camp and help the people around us. Campers have been showing their appreciation for the hard work of our support staff, donating goods to a food pantry, collecting tzedakah for those in need, and more. We are so proud of the mitzvot our campers do each day!

Ramah Outdoors specialty camp had an active and busy week of hiking, trail exploration, fire building, fishing, shelter building, and an overnight camping trip in Harriman State Park--the highlight of our week! Guided by Saul Zebovitz, an Eagle Scout and experienced outdoorsman, along with our Ramah Outdoors staff, our campers gained confidence while developing their outdoors skills.

Our campers have made fantastic progress during instructional swim. Our staff of 36 lifeguards guide our chanichim through our accredited American Red Cross instructional program. We love watching all chanichim, from our emerging swimmers to our more experienced swimmers, practice basic water safety, test their endurance, try various swim strokes, and work on diving in our four heated pools. You might even catch us doing our migrash dances in the water! Click here or on the image above to check out video highlights of swim at camp.
