Camp Ramah in Canada, Jewish summer camp in Muskoka Lakes, Canada.
Camp Ramah in Canada is a Jewish summer camp on Skeleton Lake in the Muskoka Lakes region of Ontario. It offers sports, waterfront activities, and outdoor programs on a forested property.
The camp was founded in 1960, making it one of the oldest Jewish summer camps in Canada. Over the decades it gradually expanded its programs and began drawing children from several countries.
Jewish traditions are woven into daily life at the camp, with Hebrew spoken in conversation and Shabbat observed together each week. Israeli staff lead these moments, making them feel like a natural part of the day rather than a formal obligation.
The camp accepts children from grades 1 through 10 and also offers adapted sessions for those with developmental support needs. Registering early is a good idea, as spots tend to fill well before the season starts.
At the center of the property sits the Migrash, an open green space where campers play Ga-ga, an Israeli game similar to dodgeball but played inside an octagonal wooden enclosure. The game brings together children of different ages and has become one of the most anticipated daily rituals at the camp.
