News from Camp Ramah Noam in Israel
(Excerpt from the Camp Ramah Noam Summer 2004 brochure)

Camp Ramah Noam, located at the Hodayot Youth Village in the Lower Galilee, is a unique overnight camping experience for Israeli and overseas Masorti (Conservative) youth. The camp is part of the Noam’s (acronym for No’ar Masorti) yearlong activities.

Beginning with 100 campers in the summer of 1988, the number of both participants and programs has grown every year. This past summer close to 500 campers and 130 staff members participated in our various programs at camp.

One of our main goals at camp is to have FUN! We are committed to instilling a commitment to liberal Jewish values in a non-coercive, open atmosphere. We try to enrich the knowledge and appreciation of both the campers and the staff for the Masorti (Conservative) way of life. Values of tolerance, absorption of new immigrants, democracy, pluralism and Zionism are all part of our educational programs. Leadership training and social action are both emphasized and encouraged as part of what we see as the next generation of Jewish leaders.

Our campers come from all strata of Israeli life: Masorti, Reform, Orthodox, Reconstructionists and Non-affiliated; from European, North African, Middle Eastern, Asian as well as North and South American; new immigrants, Sabra’s (Israeli born); Kibbutzniks, city dwellers.

Camp Ramah Noam offers several programs:

  • A three-week camp session for campers in the 7th – 10th grade. (July 13th through August 2nd)
  • Nitzanim,” a one week encampment for children entering the 6th grade. This program takes place at a camp site in the Lavi Forest Camp (some 5 minutes from Hodayot).  (July 25th through August 1st
  • Mahanon,” a four-day encampment for children entering the 4th and 5th grade. Also takes place in the Lavi Forest Camp. (July 12th-15th)

We are committed to the personal growth of our campers and staff at Camp Ramah NOAM. We strive to meet our goals and objectives in an enriched experience of daily Jewish life and tradition.

Camp Ramah NOAM is a non-profit organization. It is sponsored by the Jewish Agency, the Masorti Movement, UJC- New York Federation, the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and other private contributors.
