What is camp all about? Is it simply fun and games? Is it just about kids
running around having a catch and enjoying a summer off from yeshiva?
Is it just a place to send our children during the summer to keep them
busy?
At Camp Romimu our campers have an amazing time. They enjoy all our sports and special activities, but they also have much, much more. Our focus on learning, davening, middos and acting as true Bnei Torah is paramount. We are proud to be the pace setter in ruchniyos in Torah camping. Here is a peek at some of Romimu’s innovative programs:

Romimu Kollel Joins Romimu’s Superb Learning
Program
Camp Romimu is famous throughout the Catskills for having the best learning program. Our experienced, energetic, professional rabbeim give over their geshmake in learning and ensure that the summer is one of growth in Torah. Camp Romimu is proud of the myriad of programs related to the enhancement of learning in camp. Our Shabbos Hasmodo Program, cocoa club program, the Shtark Exchange and the weekly Talmid Hashavua all serve to enhance the learning in camp. We are very proud of our shiurim, taught by superb, experienced mechanchim who devote so much time and effort to our campers.

Under the innovative direction of our esteemed Learning Director, Rabbi
Yaakov Bogart, and Assistant Learning, Director Rabbi Avi Edell,
Camp Romimu’s learning program resounds with the geshmake of
Torah. Chinese auctions, Shtark Exchange, learning postcards, MVP
Middos Program, Shabbos Hasmadah all combine to create the special
Torah Ruach of Camp Romimu. The past two summers, we have had
the zechus to inaugurate the new Romimu Kollel. The Kollel consists of
Rabbeim and Mechanchim who spend their afternoons learning in Camp
Romimu’s beautiful Beis Medrash. They are also available to learn with
our bochrim in a chavrusah setting. To quote many of the Kollel
members, “the Kollel sedorim are tremendously geshmake and
uplifting.” The Kol Torah in Camp Romimu is certainly enhanced by
our wonderful Romimu Kollel.
Exciting News – Gimmel Joins Elyon in a Brand New Bais

Camp Romimu is pleased to announce that our old dining room will be converted into a beautiful new bais medrash. The shul will feature carpeting, state-of-the-art central air conditioning and, yes, tables and chairs. IYH, this summer the Gimmel and Elyon Divisions of camp will daven in this beautiful new Bais Medrash.

Rabbi Pfeiffer explains, “Boruch Hashem as our camp has grown, our
main shul has been filled to capacity. There simply was no room.
Additionally, we felt that tables and chairs would enhance our Elyon
Division davening even more. The Gimmel Division, Bar Mitzvah age
boys, were suited to be part of an Elyon-style davening. Also, we were
looking to create a larger Bais Medrash for our staff learning. Putting all
these needs together, we came up with the idea of putting in a new Bais
Medrash. We are very excited about this new Bais Medrash and it is our
wish that much beautiful davening and learning take place in this new
Makom Kadosh.”
Staff Night Kollel
Boruch Hashem, Camp Romimu attracts staff members who are serious Bnei Torah. They come from the finest yeshivas both here in America and from Eretz Yisroel. Our staff consists of carefully selected Bnei Torah who understand that the summer is a time of growth—when they can develop a kesher with campers and develop a responsibility in having an achrayus for others. Our staff is serious about their learning. Several years ago, our staff expressed an interest in having more learning than their twice a day shirum from outstanding mechanchim. That was the seed of Romimu’s unique staff Kollel. It is truly a Kiddush Hashem to see staff members at the end of a long day, when they are tired, going to the Bais Medrash to close their days with the sweet words of Torah.

MVP Middos Program
Romimu campers have always had a reputation for having excellent middos on the ball fields and in the bunks. This all helps to create the warm feeling of achdus in the bunks for which Camp Romimu is famous. This past summer, Camp Romimu started a new and innovative middos program called MVP (Middos Vichtig Program). Each week during Shabbos afternoon learning groups, Rabbi Bogart introduces the new middah of the week. For example, nosei bol im chaveroh, dan lcaf zechus and hakoras hatov are some of the middos that are focused on. Bunks are challenged to come up with a compelling story about each of these topics. These stories are presented at the end of each week. Boruch Hashem, the MVP makes a strong impression on everyone in the camp and we have reached new heights in Derech Eretz.

New Air Conditioned Learning Center a Smashing
Success!
Camp Romimu’s ruach of Torah is certainly enhanced with the inauguration of our new learning center. The Kol Torah resounds from the brand new, comfortable, sound-proof rooms that were designed for our learning groups. Best of all, the air conditioning in these rooms keep the campers cool while they are shteiging with amelis in Torah. This coming summer, campers can once again look forward to our Learning Center. The Learning Center is located right near our new Elyon Bais Medrash.
Amen Yehia Shmai Rabbah
When guests come to Camp Romimu and daven with us, they always remark on how beautiful the camp davening is. Boruch Hashem, boys daven with kavanah and kol rom. Indeed, campers and staff invest much effort into their davening, and we are very proud of their accomplishments. This past summer, in August, we introduced the new Amen Yehia Shmai Rabbah Program. Campers were given a background on the importance and power of those few words. Beautiful Siddurim and flashlights were given out to campers who put a special emphasis on Amen Yehia Shmai Rabbah.
Shabbos Hasmodo Program
Our highly acclaimed Shabbos Hasmodo Program continues to be a tremendous source of pride to campers and staff alike. There is no other learning program like it! Every Shabbos afternoon, hundreds of campers join the optional learning program and are kobiah itim L'Torah in a beautiful display of Kiddush Hashem. The Hasmodo Program is in addition to the regular Shabbos learning. “It a jewel of the camp,” exclaims Rabbi Pfeiffer, “to see hundreds of boys participate in extra learning every Shabbos afternoon is an unbelievable site. It is our hope that the geshmake that they enjoy in their learning over the summer is something that they will cherish and carry with them throughout their lives.”
