Camp Ramah in the Poconos, Jewish summer camp in High Lake, Pennsylvania, United States.
Camp Ramah in the Poconos is a Jewish summer camp on a 75-acre site in the Pocono Mountains with sports facilities, waterfront programs, and outdoor activities for children of various ages. The grounds offer both day activities and overnight stays for different session lengths.
The camp was founded in 1950 as part of the National Ramah Commission, making it one of the first structured Jewish summer programs in Pennsylvania. This beginning shaped how Jewish youth programs developed in the region for decades to come.
The camp uses Hebrew as its main language for learning and daily life, embedding Jewish values and traditions through shared meals, services, and gathering activities. This language environment creates a space where children explore and strengthen their cultural identity together.
The camp offers sessions in various lengths, from a few days to several weeks, so families can choose what fits their schedule. Registration generally happens online and families should check the camp's specific requirements and expectations ahead of time.
The camp runs a specialized Tikvah Family program that welcomes families with children who have developmental delays and offers them a five-day overnight experience. This offering sets it apart from many other summer camps and opens it up to a more diverse group.
