Camp Ramah in the Poconos is a summer camp affiliated with the National Ramah Commission. Opened in 1950, it is located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, in the mountains of Wayne County in Northeastern Pennsylvania. As with other Ramah camps, Camp Ramah in the Poconos is focused on Jewish education. Its operation is infused with some sort of an educational theme, whether it be Zionism, the Jewish lifecycle, or ritual. The camp seeks to maintain a connection with the State of Israel and uses Hebrew as the language of official instruction, communication, and education.
