At Ramah Bamah, campers:
- Hone their skills in acting, singing, dancing & movement
- Collaborate on professional-level performances
- Learn from industry experts & Jewish artists
- Build lifelong friendships in a vibrant, supportive community

Experience the magic of Ramah while exploring Jewish storytelling and creativity on stage!
Participants will work with seasoned professionals on acting and musical skill development and perform a special Ramah Bamah production for the entire Camp.
“I can’t wait for Ramah Bamah next year. I had the best time last summer. I’ve been in the most incredible Vocal program for my 8th grade year. I get to sing and learn music theory every day. I am one of the very few Jewish kids that attend the entire school, and I even convinced our choral director to sing a Hebrew song for our Winter Concert. It’s been a really great experience so far.”

Whether joining us at Camp for just the 2-week program or combining Ramah Bamah with a 4-week or full-summer Camp experience, participants will live among their same-age peers and participate in tzrif (bunk) activities and aidah (age division) programs. Ramah Bamah campers will experience all the magic of Ramah Darom’s joyful Jewish community while spending their elective time focusing on the performing arts.
“As a parent, I can tell you that Ramah Bamah was incredible for our daughter who loved being a part of this program. She grew as an actress, a person, as a Jew and as a member of a community that lifts each other up. She made deep connections and friendships with the other people in this program, she has deep admiration and respect for the staff who led them and her confidence has skyrocketed. As a rabbi, Jewish educator and supporter of Machaneh (Camp) Ramah, I can say that this program is an excellent way to blend Judaism and Jewish values with the arts experience. I am so proud this opportunity is available for young Jews in such a positive Jewish environment. Sign up your kids as soon as you can!”
-Rabbi Blatt, Congregation Kol Ami, Tampa, FL
