Camp
Ramah in New England is located in a beautiful wooded setting, approximately
1˝ hours west of Boston and 45 minutes east of Amherst and Northampton.
Its close proximity to these major centers, and to the Berkshires,
offers many opportunities to “play tourist” on days off.
Centered around a spring-fed lake (with two sandy beaches), the
camp features separate areas for younger and older campers, with
shared dining facilities. For staff, there is a new, air conditioned
staff lounge building, featuring a games area, large screen television
and satellite dish. This facility is often the center of staff programs,
with enough space for dances, and plenty of couches for hanging
out.

Ramah
maintains two outdoor sports complexes, each with its own playing
fields, equipment, tennis courts and basketball courts. A staff
of full time specialists instruct, organize, and implement a full
schedule of sports activities including aerobics, archery, baseball,
fencing, football, soccer, softball, martial arts, tennis, volleyball,
and ultimate frisbee. In addition, there is a ropes course with
both higher and lower elements, where campers of all ages participate
in challenge activities. Highlights include a spider web, zip line
and climbing wall.
