What is the Ramah Jerusalem Day Camp?
The Ramah Jerusalem Day Camp offers a unique experience for English-speaking children from abroad and Israel entering kindergarten through eighth grade. The camp is located at the Israel Goldstein Youth Village in the San Simon neighborhood of Jerusalem, a beautiful, spacious site only 10 minutes from downtown, completely surrounded by a security fence.

Take a virtual tour of the Goldstein Youth Village.

Once or twice each week campers go on outings to explore the magic of Jerusalem and its surroundings. The other days campers are involved in fun-filled and educational activities on the Goldstein campus, including sports, arts and crafts, music, drama and swimming. Hebrew language is incorporated through activities and songs. Daily Tefillot (prayer services), "Oneg Shabbat" (a culmination of the week) and activities related to the summer theme create an environment of Masorti Jewish tradition that is an important element of all Ramah programs. Ramah Jerusalem Day Camp offers a special leadership program for entering 8th and 9th graders, in which they learn leadership skills, practice programming for younger campers, volunteer weekly, and have lots of camp fun.
