Nature & Exploration

Three smiling children stand outdoors, holding out handfuls of small orange tomatoes. Other kids are partially visible nearby. The group is surrounded by lush greenery on a sunny day.

An adult and a young boy plant flowers together in a garden surrounded by wildflowers. The adult kneels and gives guidance while the boy places a purple-flowered plant into a hole in the soil.

In the Teva program at Ramah, we have the opportunity to explore the beautiful woods of the 200 acre property at Wellspring in Germantown, MD. Our campers also have time learning, planting, and harvesting in the Wellspring Garden.

In the Teva program we learn how to interact with the natural world through awareness practices and games, ancestral skills, and exploration of wildlife. Campers have the opportunity to build shelters they can survive in without a sleeping bag, eat foraged plants like wild raspberries, and learn how to have fun and be safe in the forest. We cultivate mindfulness and connection through direct experience climbing, eating, listening, building, crafting, playing, hiding, feeling, touching, tracking, stalking, smelling and more! Come have fun in the woods with us!
