Before Camp

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT CAMP!

Please watch your emails or check this webpage regularly for more details as we prepare for Kayitz (Summer) 2023!

HANDBOOK:

Our 2023 Family Handbook can be found here.  We encourage families to review it prior to the start of camp.

FAMILY EVENTS:

A Parent Info Session for Ramah Day Camp families will be held on Wednesday, June 7 at 8:00 p.m.  A Zoom link will be emailed to parents.  We will record the meeting and send the link to parents later that week for those that are unable to attend.

Our Welcome Event for all Ramah DC families will be held on Sunday, June 25 from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. at camp – no RSVP’s needed.  Come for a short time or stay as long as you’d like! At this event, you will have an opportunity to meet your children’s madrichim (counselors), Rosh Edah (division head) and our senior staff, pick up your Ramah T-shirt, and take a tour of camp!

Save the Date for our annual Zimkudiyah (song & dance festival) on Thursday evening, August 3 (tentatively 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.). Be our guest, get a taste of Ramah, and see your campers perform. This year the event will be held at the Charles E Smith Jewish Day School Lower School. Children and staff will be bused by camp to CESJDS that day. More information to follow.
