Dates & Rates
Dates & Information for 2024:
The Kayitz (summer) 2024 season will open on Monday, June 24 and close on Friday, August 9. The rates for the summer of 2024 are not available yet. Below is information from our 2023 season which may be helpful to you in the meantime. Please note – we will again offer an early bird discount (not reflected in the rates below) to families who register their child(ren) by mid-December 2023.
2023 Information
The Kayitz (summer) 2023 season will open on Monday, June 26 and close on Friday, August 11. In 2023, we will offer three two-week sessions and a final one-week session. (Session dates appear in the table below.) Families may register their child(ren) for a single session or any combination of sessions. Of course, we love when families take advantage of our full summer discount and enroll their child(ren) for all 7 weeks!
Our Sha’ar Hebrew immersion program, however, is a seven-week program for campers currently in Pre-K (PK4) through 2nd grade since consistency is the foundation of an immersion experience. Sha’ar for campers in our oldest edah (division) – those currently in 3rd and 4th grades – will feature a four-week program. More information about the Sha’ar Hebrew immersion program can be found here.
Our camp program is open to current Pre-K (PK4) through 4th grade students. Bus transportation from centralized locations in the area is included in camp fees.
Please contact us if you have any questions about your summer dates.

Financial Aid
Financial aid is available, and we do all that we can to make it possible for everyone to experience a summer at Ramah. Applications for financial aid are made available in your CampMinder account once you complete your camper application. Scholarship applications are now being reviewed on a rolling basis. If you have questions about the financial aid process, please contact Sharon Rosenberg Safra, Assistant Director.
Registration Deposit, Fees & Payment Plans
A deposit of $100 per week enrolled (minimum $200) is due at the time of registration. By March 15, camp families are required to pay 50% of their tuition fees or arrange a payment plan with our Finance Office. Full payment is due by May 15 (for families not on a payment plan).
Cancellation Policy
We know that plans change. We also need to plan in order to serve all of our campers. Unfortunately that means we have to have a cancellation policy. We must have notification in writing if you need to withdraw your child before the start of camp. Below is our schedule of tuition refunds and fees:
| Cancellation Date | Cancellation Fee |
|---|---|
| On or before December 31 | Full refund (no penalty) |
| January 1 - March 15 | 15% of tuition |
| March 16 - May 15 | 50% of tuition |
| After May 15 | No refund available |
