Drawing from its movement of 9 overnight camps, 4 day camps, and year-round programs, Ramah will bring the magic of a Jewish summer camp experience to the Global Day of Jewish Learning community and create an engaging camp program for your children. Camp Ramah at Global Day of Jewish Learning will offer a fun, safe, and age-appropriate experience for children in pre-k (3 years old) through 8th grade.
The camp program will include exciting age-appropriate activities such as storytelling, music, art, sports, drama, Hebrew, scavenger hunts, Israeli dancing and more!
