Camp Ramah in California

The summer season is split up into two four-week sessions attended by over 1,350 campers.

Chaim Potok, author of The Chosen, The Promise, and My Name is Asher Lev, was director of the camp in 1957-59 before embarking on his career as a writer.

[16][17][18] Brian Greene and Rabbi Daniel Greyber have been executive directors of the camp.

The following summer, former campers (or "Ramahniks") are eligible for a six-week tour of Israel called the Ramah Seminar.

For special-needs adults, there is a program known as "Ezra" ("help"), for them to be on staff in preparation for careers.
