About Our Facility:

The best way is to see it at: www.ramapocamp.com

Our activity areas have been built to work with the curriculum and program goals we have for each age.

Different than school where the field, court, or classroom is one size fits all; we can build our fields, courts, and "classroom" to fit the age, size, strength, and ability level of our campers. This way a field is never too big or too small for a camper. Right when they are ready to outgrow a field they move up to a new size. Our camp classrooms are designed with a specific use - they are not converted or adapted to be used for something different so we have put thought into how the tables are designed so every seat is a good seat and the teacher (specialist) can easily be accessible to everyone. So much thought is put into the design the educator in you will appreciate the attention to detail since it will benefit your campers. Every program area has been built to take advantage of the outdoors. So campers and staff are not inside like they are during school. There is plenty of cover from the sun, but the fresh-air says we are outside and not in-school.

Our campers are too young to hate any activity. Who did that to them? So it is our job to re-present the activity in a way so our campers can experience some success and want to keep coming back. We want to create momentum with every visit. As momentum builds, so does confidence. When the confidence comes then break through moments occur.

About Our Staff:

As nice and well thought out as our facility is, it's all about the people. The staff are who our campers will be talking about at the dinner table each evening. Our staff are the momentum makers that will be impacting our campers everyday.

We have worked hard to create a facility and staff-working environment that is enjoyable, creative, positive, and perfect for the summer. You will enjoy coming to work each day. Many of our teachers return each year, but we always welcome new, energetic people. We are looking for people who would rather do more than less and who see working at camp as something they "get to do" not "have to do".

Teachers, we call specialists, run our activity areas. Each camper group comes with 2-4 college counselors who stay with the group and assist the specialists when they arrive at the area.

Many of our specialists, coaches and teachers work in Bergen, Passaic & Rockland County Schools. Camp is also a great place to not only work with people who share your passion and commitment to teaching/coaching, but also to make connections with people in the area. You never know where a connection will take you.

We welcome any questions you may have, and we invite you to come out to meet us and see our facility.

Interviews are held via: Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype
