Camp Yofi

Camp Yofi is Ramah Darom's nationally recognized 5-day program designed for families with children ages 6-13 who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), providing a supportive environment with tailored activities and resources for all family members. This inclusive experience welcomes parents, siblings and grandparents, regardless of Jewish denomination or affiliation, are welcome!

Camp Yofi is a supportive and joyful environment for all Jewish families. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains at Ramah Darom’s beautiful campus in Clayton, Georgia, the program features a wide range of activities such as singing, dancing, arts and crafts, climbing, sports, swimming, and lake adventures. Campers, siblings and parents enjoy separate programming tailored to their needs and family programs throughout the 5-day experience. Each child with autism is paired with a dedicated one-on-one companion, or "chaver," to ensure they have personalized support. Families also have the opportunity to learn Torah, enjoy respite, and create lasting memories in a warm, Jewish atmosphere. And parents and grandparents can enjoy adult time in the evenings, while our trained staff watches children.

The mornings at Camp Yofi offer something for everyone, with separate tracks for 1) children with autism spectrum disorder, 2) siblings, and 3) parents. During the afternoon, we offer a variety of programs the entire family can enjoy. In the evenings, the Camp Yofi community comes together for campfires, guitar sing-alongs, s’mores and other family programs. After the children go to sleep and are under the care of our specialty-trained staff, adults get together for engaging programs.

A highlight of the program is the Yofi B’nai Mitzvah celebration, where campers can mark this important milestone in a supportive, community-oriented setting, where the level of care and differentiation can be felt every moment. Participation in Camp Yofi is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to 25 families.
