...nded in 1922, Ramapo for Children is a private, not-for-profit organization serving children with special needs.  Ramapo's mission is to provide children with social, emotional, and learning problems educational and recreational experiences which promote social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth.

Camp Ramapo, our summer residential program, is an inclusive environment purposefully designed for children having difficulty building and maintaining healthy relationships with peers and adults. The daily program and activities are carefully structured to meet the needs of children who can benefit from a higher-than-average level of supervision, an engaging environment, and a character-building curriculum; all of which Ramapo provides.

A particular strength of Ramapo is its one-to-one staff-to-child ratio. The atmosphere is warm and supportive; all activities are carefully supervised; and the grounds are attractive and well cared for.

During each of our three summer sessions, 200 campers participate in creative projects, sports, and outdoor experiences. Day...

Roeliff Jansen Kill River
I kayaked this stretch the day after a big rainstorm in a recreational kayak and it was considerably more difficult than the review makes it out to be. Several downed trees and a huge beaver dam were the worst obstacles. Bingham Mills to Dales Bridge has some dangerous spots. Dales Bridge to the Hudson River is considerably tamer but only about a 40 minute trip. I kayaked it in early June 2006....

Roeliff Jansen Kill River
Hey, for anyone interested in kyaking or Canoeing down the Ro-Jan Kill beware: There are many downed trees, which in an instant could pin you down and end your life. No one maintains this water way, and in many sections you will be forced by naturally occurring dams to get out of your canoe, or kyak and walk you and your vessel down stream through thickets of nettle. Personally I completed a trip down this beautiful stream unaware of the many deadly stimuli. So if in the near future you plan to get away from everything, just take note to the above....
