Camp Ramah in the Poconos is a summer camp affiliated with the National Ramah Commission.[1] Opened in 1950, it is located in the Pocono Mountains in High Lake, Pennsylvania[2] (but is addressed in Lakewood, Pennsylvania,[3] since High Lake does not have its own post office or ZIP code).
As with other Ramah camps, Camp Ramah in the Poconos is focused on Jewish education. Its program has an educational focus and includes Zionism, the Jewish lifecycle, and ritual.[4] The camp seeks to maintain a connection with the State of Israel and uses Hebrew as the language of official instruction, communication, and education.[5] The official prayer book of Camp Ramah in the Poconos is Siddur Lev Yisrael, authored by former director Cheryl Magen.[6]
