More than 40 years ago, Ramah became a pioneer and visionary in Jewish camping and in the Jewish community by establishing the Tikvah program for campers with disabilities. Today, the National Ramah Tikvah Network of programs offers the exceptional Ramah camp experience to Jewish children, teens, and young adults with a wide range of learning, developmental, cognitive, and social disabilities.

Every Ramah camper is unique, and so is each Ramah camp.

Our exceptional programs are located across nine Ramah camps in the United States and Canada. Regardless of their geographic location, families are directed to the regional Ramah camp that best suits their child's needs. Program offerings include:
  • Overnight and day camp programs

  • Family camps 
The National Ramah Tikvah Network of programs has a stellar reputation.
