  Kol Ramah, Week 7

Adventure!

Adventure abounds at Ramah Nyack! From exploring the creek bed in teva (nature) to ziplining through the treetops in migdal (high ropes course), every day is an adventure for our chanichim! Older campers challenge themselves at migdal, trying the zipline and scaling new heights on the rock wall, and younger campers test out the tire swings and trust games at our low ropes course. They feel a real sense of pride and accomplishment hiking on the shvil (trail), learning how to safely make a fire in bishul bachutz (outdoor cooking), and pitching a tent in our Ramah Outdoors specialty camp. Our beautiful grounds offer campers many opportunities to explore, gain self-confidence, and push themselves to try new nature-centered activities.

Registration for Kayitz 2027 is Open!

 
 

Don't miss a minute on the migrash! Current families that register during the remainder of the camp season will receive this special Ramah Nyack magnetic fidget ball set along with a registration discount. New and returning families can receive the early registration discount through November 1, 2026, but the fidgets are available only to returning families through August 12, 2026.

Reminders

We provide our campers with snacks and meals throughout the day. For the safety of our campers and staff with food allergies, we ask that no food of any kind be sent to camp with your children.


Please send your child(ren) every day with:

  • A refillable water bottle from home so that your child(ren) can refill it throughout the day with water to stay hydrated.
  • A bottle of sunscreen (labeled). Please apply sunscreen before your child departs for camp. We will reapply it throughout the day and the labeled bottle of sunscreen will be kept in your child’s changing area.
  • While not required, we highly recommend sending a hat for your child to wear, especially on hot days.


Important Procedures

Your children are having so much fun here that we encourage you to keep them in camp until the regular dismissal time. We understand that there are extenuating circumstances that occasionally require you to pick up your child early. If so, please follow these procedures:

  • Your child may be picked up by a parent or by an authorized adult previously designated in your CampMinder account. For any changes, please email travel@ramahnyack.org.
  • Please call camp at (845) 358-6240 or email travel@ramahnyack.org by 11am on the day of the change and let us know what time you will be picking up your child. The office staff will notify your child's counselor and bus driver of the revised dismissal plans.
  • Upon your arrival for early dismissal, please park in the Gould parking lot (across from the entrance to Nyack High School) and let our security staff know your name and your camper's name and they will call the office to let us know you have arrived. A staff member will escort your child to Gould to meet you, where you will sign him/her out. Please do not take your child out of camp without signing out.
  • All early pick-ups must take place BEFORE 3:00 p.m. After 3:00 p.m., pick-ups will be carpool pick-ups in the Gould parking lot at regular dismissal.
