I’m Alexa, and I’m so excited to be returning home to Ramah Darom as the Annual Fund and Alumni Relations Coordinator. As a camper, I experienced first hand how Ramah Darom has shaped my life, the lives of my loved ones, and the lives of thousands of Jewish families. I am thrilled to be able […]

Welcoming Session Bet Campers “Home”!
July 20, 2017

Today, under bright blue skies with warm sunshine streaming through fluffy white clouds, I watched a camper reach the top of our climbing tower for the very first time. The camper beamed with pride as he gazed out over the lake from 60 feet in the air, pumped his fist, and then recited the Shechiuyanu blessing- […]

How does Ramah make a difference?

In Ben Platt’s words: “….there comes a time when you need to figure out for yourself what is going to mean most to you, and what will keep you connected to your Judaism. So going to camp and being your own person there, and learning how to socialize with all these other Jewish kids and […]

Many people have already begun the grueling process of cleaning every nook and cranny of their homes, trying to locate Every. Last.
