Hello y’all. I’ve been attending a sleep away Jewish summer camp for 2 years now! My mom just signed me up for year 3 and I can’t wait! It’s called Camp Ramah. I go to the one in Ojai California (long ass flight to get from Florida to California). But, it’s a place where I can truly express my Judaism without prejudice or judgement from others.
I go for one month. The camp is conservative. The camp is Kosher, we follow Shabbat, and celebrate all other holidays (including ones that aren’t in the summer, the camp just has special programming for them during the year). We sing prayers daily, after every meal, before we go to bed, and we have a special morning prayer time right after breakfast, expect Saturday’s where we do an hour long Torah service.
Have any of y’all been do a Jewish summer camp before, and if you have, what was your experience?
