Shalom:

Thank you so much for your interest in joining our 2013 summer program. What follows is a series of important pieces of information as you start the application process. The link to the camper application can be found at the bottom of this page.

Summer 2013 will be awesome! Each year we work hard to make every summer better than the one before. Each year we introduce many new programs, for example; our flag football chug, featured guest instructors in areas like basketball and music, our brand new organic garden and outdoor cooking, as well as our enhanced ropes course. The positive feedback on our 2012 summer has already been overwhelming, and in the coming months we will use the feedback we collect from our 2012 families to further strengthen our program.

Our 2013 schedule is:

Carefully note the dates of the session you select to ensure your camper(s) will be able to be at camp for the full session. Campers should not come late or leave early for summer school, vacations or other commitments. We are aware that in some cases the end of the Spring semester or start of the Fall semester conflict with the camp schedule by a couple of days. We can accommodate families with these conflicts by extending a short window of flexibility for late arrivals or early departures that still allows campers to be with us for all Shabbatot. Please be in touch immediately so that, if possible, these special arrangements may be made. If you plan to attend both 1st and 2nd session (8 weeks) please be aware of our intersession from July 15th to July 18th during which your child will need to leave camp.

Take Advantage of Discounted 2013 Fees!!!

• Sibling Discount: Enrolling more than one child in your family? Save $75 per additional child.

Discounts will be noted on your account if paid in full at the time of enrollment or applied at the end of the payment plan. In addition to these discounts, Camp Ramah in California is once again planning to meet the financial needs of our camp families through our scholarship process. Furthermore, please help us spread the word to first time families and/or campers that we will continue to offer great campership incentives.

Financial Assistance: In an effort to simplify our Financial Aid process and make awards available sooner than ever before, we have made some significant changes.
