An Inside Look
Camp facilities
Ramah in the Rockies is 360 acres of pristine ponderosa forests and alpine meadows nestled in the pristine Pike and San Isabel National Forests. Located 90 minutes from Denver at an elevation of 8,000 feet, the chava (ranch) is surrounded by magnificent towering mountain peaks with three mountain-fed streams running through its center. We have on-site natural climbing walls, numerous fields for sports, and hundreds of lush, verdant acres for our chalutzim (campers) to safely explore every day.
Kosher Kitchen
We have a kitchen with capacity to feed 350+ diners. It features commercial-grade equipment and safe food storage spaces necessary to cook delicious and nutritious meals.
Waste Reduction
We put an emphasis on recycling and reducing our footprint. At meal times, we serve family style. Weeks on masa’ot (backcountry excursions) give campers an opportunity to learn how to live with less.
Elevated Tent Living
Our platform tents are covered by sturdy white tarps that protect from the elements, providing a comfortable yet rustic camping feel.
Self-Sustaining Systems
Solar electricity, composting toilets, skylight systems, and geothermal systems reduce water and fossil fuel usage. Sustainability isn’t just a practice: it’s an important Jewish value that we model and teach to every camper and staff member.
Sleeping facilities
- Large, canvas-walled platform tents that can withstand the elements
- Community living with fun activities and pristine facilities within walking distance
- Shared spaces for campers to create meaningful k'sharim (connections).
All Ramah in the Rockies sleeping facilities are solidly built to withstand the elements. A maximum of 14 chalutzim (campers) and 3 madrichim (counselors) share a large platform tent. The tents are arranged around communal showers and toilet facilities.
Dining Area
- Nutrition-conscious food that provides a wide range of options for campers
- Consistent meal times that help campers feel part of a larger community
- Professional culinary team members who provide high-quality kosher meals
Our whole community eats together in a shared dining hall, which was completed in 2021. The dining hall features a large kosher kitchen where our professional culinary staff work diligently to provide nutritious and delicious meals for everyone at camp.
We believe that the food we serve and eat should reflect our environmental values. A core part of what we do is to “lift the veil” on our food at camp. We aim to serve sustainable food, taking into account where food is grown, how it is made (we try not to serve anything processed), and how it affects both our budget and our bodies.
