Join us at Camp in upstate New York this summer and spend every day feeling like you made Camp and the world a better place. We can’t wait to spend the summer with you!

Camp Ramah in the Berkshires (www.ramahberkshires.org) is a vibrant summer camp community, where Campers in grades 3-10, grow in a beautiful and safe setting, surrounded by life-long friends and are nurtured by spirited role models. From sports to the arts, swimming to outdoor adventure, Camp is infused with the best of the tradition and values of Conservative Judaism: love of mitzvot, Hebrew language, and the land and people of Israel; commitment to inclusion and Tikun Olam; and the joy of learning and prayer. Ramah is a transformative Jewish experience for its campers, staff, families and the communities of the New York metropolitan area.

Camp Ramah is looking for a creative, talented, organized, and experienced individual to serve as our Summer Performing Arts Director. This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead a motivated and vibrant team and enhance a core program area of our Camp community.
