In addition to its university-aged American counselors, specialists and educators, the staff of each camp is joined by a corps of emissaries from Israel known as the "mishlachat/מישלחת" (delegation).

[9] Many spiritual leaders, social justice advocates, educators, and community board members in North America trace their strong Jewish values and commitment to Judaism to their summers at Ramah.

[10] An educational initiative by Camp Ramah produced Siddur Lev Yisrael,[11] one of the only Conservative siddurim without an English translation.

[16] It opened in 1953 as Camp Ramah Connecticut and serves the New England area as well as DC, Virginia, and parts of New York.

Ramah NorCal is a specialty camp with three tracks, ocean exploration, performing arts, and adventure sports.

[25] Ramah Day Camp Greater DC, which meets at the Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown, Maryland, offers a variety of programming.

Ramah Boston is hosted at Gann Academy in Waltham, and the campers swim at Bentley University’s Dana Center pool.

Staff members participate in an intensive program of Jewish learning, leadership development, and social engagement in the afternoons and evenings.

Activities include sports, swimming (twice a day – instructional and free), art, drama, nature, cooking, Judaic studies, music, and dance.

[27] The Ramah Jerusalem Day Camp is intended for English-speaking children from abroad and Israel entering kindergarten through eighth grade.

The camp is located at the Israel Goldstein Youth Village in the San Simon neighborhood of Jerusalem, surrounded by a security fence.

The other days campers are involved in fun educational activities on the Goldstein campus, including sports, arts and crafts, music, drama and swimming.

Daily Tefillot (prayer services), "Oneg Shabbat" (a culmination of the week) and activities related to the summer theme create an environment of Masorti Jewish tradition that is an important element of all Ramah programs.

It is based at two principal sites: Havat HaNoar HaTzioni in Jerusalem, and the Hodayot youth village, adjacent to Kibbutz Lavi near the Sea of Galilee.

[30] The seminar includes an optional ten-day trip to Poland to learn about Jewish life in Eastern Europe before the Holocaust.
