Camp Ramah in Northern California is a Jewish overnight (sleepaway) summer camp near Monterey Bay in Watsonville, part of the Conservative movement's Ramah network and opened in 2016.

Its coastal setting near the Santa Cruz Mountains supports extensive outdoor and ocean programming.

★★★★★Ivan Bergman

Ramah Galim has solidly been the highlight of my summer every single year for the past five years. It’s the perfect combination between Judaism, the ocean, and the nature surrounding, but the ocean is the highlight of Ramah Galim. I confidently can recommend this camp to anyone Jewish, religious or not.
