Brand New Equestrian Center<br />

Horseback riding will allow <strong>Ramah</strong> campers to<br />

discover nature and the world around them from<br />

a new perspective. To facilitate the horseback riding<br />

experience and the opportunities for chesed and<br />

teamwork it provides, the master plan includes<br />

an equestrian center, with stables, corrals and<br />

pastures.<br />

Levine Retreat Center<br />

<strong>Ramah</strong>’s existing retreat center will be remodeled<br />

to house more guests with the addition of more<br />

bedrooms and bathrooms. The seven bedroom<br />

house will accommodate groups of up to 20 people,<br />

and will be used by the Ezra program during the<br />

summer. Sun shades will adorn the porch to<br />

provide a welcoming gathering space, and the<br />

newly landscaped garden will be in view.<br />

Trail System<br />

The six-mile trail system envisioned to loop<br />

around <strong>Ramah</strong>’s acreage will provide ample<br />

opportunities for campers to explore a wide range<br />

of natural habitats, including live oak forests,<br />

native grasslands, and oak and sycamore groves<br />

without ever having to leave camp property. They<br />

will be able to pick a ripe orange right off the tree,<br />

and climb up challenging mountainsides to be<br />

rewarded with beautiful views of the mountains<br />

to the north and the Ojai Valley to the west.<br />

These exciting developments will only become a reality through the vision and generosity of<br />

members of the <strong>Ramah</strong> family. Gifts to the capital campaign, “Enhancing the Journey,” are already<br />

being sought. For more information, contact <strong>Ramah</strong>’s development director, Carol Abrams, at<br />
