A Quiet Space to Recharge
by Lauren Fleischman, Director of Camp Wellness & Inclusion and Dina Greenberg, Interim Director of Ramah Day Camp

Building on a shared vision of holistic camper care, Camp Ramah in Wisconsin and Ramah Day Camp are deepening our collaboration to expand inclusion support for both campers and staff. By broadening our continuum of care, we strive to ensure that campers feel seen, supported, and set up to thrive in our joyful, vibrant community.

At the heart of this work is Beit Roga, the “House of Calm,” which has become a central hub for
grounding, connection, and emotional regulation at both camps. Now in its second year at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin, Beit Roga offers a structured, yet soothing environment filled with sensory tools, calm corners, and cozy nooks where campers can reset and recharge before returning to the energy of camp life.

At Ramah Day Camp, Beit Roga was launched in Summer 2025 and immediately became a vital
resource. This dedicated, air-conditioned space offers campers and staff a quiet moment away
from the group, providing a place to cool down, breathe, reflect, and regain the energy needed to fully participate. In both settings, Beit Roga is intentionally designed to be accessible to everyone, reinforcing the important message that taking a break is healthy and encouraged.


Integral to Beit Roga’s success is our team of inclusion specialists and yoetzim (camper care professionals), who anchor our approach to camper care across the organization. With expertise in psychology, behavioral health, social work, and education, these professionals serve as compassionate guides who partner closely with campers, staff, and families. Increasingly, their role includes empowering counselors by offering real-time guidance, modeling supportive strategies, and helping young leaders build the confidence and skills needed to navigate the complexities of community living.

Both Camp Ramah in Wisconsin and Ramah Day Camp approach camper care through a shared
lens, rooted in our core value of Shiluv (inclusion). We support campers as whole individuals,
celebrate their growth, and provide the tools and accommodations necessary for each camper to feel included, connected, and successful. Our evolving work in inclusion and wellness reflects our ongoing commitment to cultivating a camp environment where each child and staff member can shine.
