Camp Ramallah 2026: Special Thank You
Just like that, another week of Camp Ramallah has come to an end.
Our hearts are so full. Last week was filled with laughter, friendships, traditions, late night conversations, friendly competition, and so many moments that remind us why this camp means so much to so many people.
We are so thankful to this community. The support from every camper, parent, counselor, volunteer, and sponsor is what makes Camp Ramallah possible. Camp Ramallah is more than just a week of camp. It’s a family, and we’re so grateful for every member.
A special thank you to our many generous financial and meal donors. Thank you for investing in our campers and community!

About Camp Ramallah
Camp Ramallah is a weeklong camp for children between the ages of 13 and 17. Annually the camp is hosted during the months of June or July and applications are usually open between January and March. Applications will be available for campers, counselors in training, counselors and adult chaperons. The selection criteria will be shared once the application process is available.
The purpose of Camp Ramallah is to bring young members of the Federation from across the US to come together and meet in one place in a camp environment to experience Ramallah Heritage, Palestine History, and Ramallah Culture all in one place, all while enjoying adventurous outdoor experiences, and engaging with their extended Ramallah family.
The inaugural Camp Ramallah 2018 took place in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee hosting a weeklong camp for 37 campers. In 2019, 50 campers met in Asheville, NC to build relationships, learn about our Palestinian history and context, and strengthen their commitment to our community. Camp Ramallah increases in size every year.
