Camp Ramah in the Rockies Expected to Open in 2010

I am absolutely amazed by the natural splendor and beauty of the new mountain site for Ramah in the Rockies. It will be a stunning and important addition to the Ramah Camping Movement. Horseback riding, mountaineering, and an appreciation for the ecological make up and needs of the Rocky Mountains will be this camp’s unique contribution to Camp Ramah nationally. As soon as this camp is built, campers will flock to the site in droves to take advantage of Ramah’s Conservative Jewish orientation as well as the brand new state-of-the-art camp. I can’t wait to see it all come together for our kids.

Nestled in the spectacular Rocky Mountains, Ramah in the Rockies at the Flying J Ranch is a breathtaking site to behold. Ramah in the Rockies is situated on 360 magnificent acres in heavenly Deckers, Colorado, surrounded by the more than 1.2 million acres of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. Campers will enjoy the beautiful Colorado sunshine and moderate summer weather while they taste the flavor of Jewish life and broaden their individual identities--Rockies style. This one-of-a-kind location in the Rockies exudes peace and spirituality. One can feel the holiness and serenity immediately upon setting foot on the land. It is the perfect place for children to camp, laugh, and learn. The first ever camp of this kind is expected to open in 2010.
