In conjunction with Tamir Goodman, Ramah is opening the first intense basketball camp within a Jewish setting! The Ramah Basketball Academy provides the finest in basketball instruction, geared for the serious athlete. The program is now open to campers entering 8th, 9th and 10th grades. Campers that choose the RBA track this summer will have a chance to participate in the traditional Ramah program for the first session of the summer, complete with the full complement of athletics, visual and performing arts, environmental education, Judaics, Israel education, as well as our full aquatic program. For the second session, RBA campers will continue to live amongst Ramah campers in the same bunks, yet their program will be devoted to a very intense program of basketball instruction. For an idea of what an average day would look like in this program, we have included a sample schedule. Ramah Basketball Academy candidates must be in excellent physical shape, able to handle a serious workout for about six hours a day. It is highly recommended that all participants exercise at least one hour per day for three months prior to the program.
