Camp Ramah is an organization that oversees several Jewish summer camps throughout the United States, Canada, and Israel.
It is sponsored by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the main academic hub of Conservative Judaism. Depending upon the location of the camp and the age of the campers, campers can stay for either four or eight weeks (or at a few select locations, attend a day camp version). At Camp Ramah, campers engage in both educational and social activities.
