The Ramah-NOAM Summer Camp, held annually at the Hodayot Youth Village in the Lower Galilee, creates a unique atmosphere in which both campers and counselors enjoy an informal Jewish educational setting. Established by the Masorti Movement in 1988, the Ramah-NOAM Summer Camp is a meeting place for children from varying religious and secular backgrounds, with many campers encountering Jewish tradition in daily life for the first time. Growing from 101 campers in its initial year, the camp hosted some 500 youngsters in 2003.

 Values of tolerance, absorption of new immigrants, democracy, pluralism and Zionism are all part of our educational programs. Leadership training and social action are both emphasized and encouraged as part of what we see as the next generation of Jewish leaders.

Our campers come from all strata of Israeli life: Masorti, Reform, Orthodox, Reconstructionists and Non-affiliated; from European, North African, Middle Eastern, Asian as well as North and South American; new immigrants, Sabras (Israeli born); Kibbutzniks, city dwellers.

Camp Ramah Noam offers a variety of programs:

• A three-week camp session for campers entering 7th to 10th grades
• Nitzanim, a one-week encampment for children entering 6th grade
• Machanon, a three-day encampment for children entering 4th and 5th grades
• Netaim, a two-week program for campers with special needs
• Maayan, for young adults with special needs to work as staff members of the camp
• In addition, the camp hosts visits and interaction programs with Masorti youth from North America (USY) and Europe (NOAM)

We are committed to the personal growth of our campers and staff at Camp Ramah NOAM. We strive to meet our goals and objectives in an enriched experience of daily Jewish life and tradition.

Camp Ramah NOAM is a non-profit organization. It is sponsored by the Jewish Agency, the Masorti Movement, UJC- New York Federation, the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and other private contributors.
