Camp Ramah is a religiously oriented camp that observes the laws of Shabbat and kashrut. Hebrew is widely used in all facets of camp life, from the names for buildings, physical infrastructure, and services, to camp activities and programs.[11] Campers attend daily religious prayer services.[12] On Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays the campers execute the traditional Torah service. Campers also attend classes or programs that thecamp has set up to structure their Jewish background.[13]

Counselors and alumni describe their summers at Ramah as one of the most formative experiences of their childhoods and a primary influence on their Jewish identity.[14]

Administration

From 2003 until 2017, the camp director was Rabbi Paul Resnick.[15][16][17][18] Rabbi Jerome (Jerry) Abrams was the founder of the camp in 1964.[19][20] He is now director emeritus. Rabbi David Mogilner, Rabbi Sheldon (Shelley) Dorph,[21][22] David August, and Rabbi Burton Cohen[23][24] were directors in late 1960 and 1970s.
