Journeys That Shape a Summer

Our journeys continue as we visit each of our camps and engage in deep, meaningful conversations about the Jewish journeys our campers and staff embark on each Ramah summer. There is so much I wish we could convey in these short updates—the blessings of quiet walks and shared meals; coaching a staff member as they practice a d’var Torah, observing camper interactions, and having campers and staff remind me of conversations we shared years ago. I feel incredibly blessed to do this work.

What Are Your Aspirations for This Summer?

"It is at Ramah this summer where our young adult staff members will find Jewish community, form meaningful and authentic friendships, create safe space for dialogue and listening, and mark Jewish time together. I ask our tzevet (staff) to think about their summer aspirations, and encourage them to be exceptional staff, relationship builders, Jewish role models, learners, and teachers. I tell them, 'When you aspire, you inspire.'” - Reflections from Amy Skopp Cooper, CEO, National Ramah Commission
