The Myron S. Goldman Union Camp Institute opened for its first season in 1958. It
was
sponsored by the Ohio Valley Federation Council, a subsidiary of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations and was located on a 52 acre wooded countryside 17 miles from
downtown
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Goldman Union Camp Institute encouraged "fun, adventure and spiritual values for
teenagers." One of the earliest directors was Raymond Solomon, a faculty member of
the
Cincinnati Public Schools. Later directors were rabbis. The current director, Ronald
Klotz,
has been with the camp since 1974. Staff members were frequently drawn from local
college
students and Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion rabbinic students.
Originally the camp was divided into two parts- the Ohio Valley Federation of Temple
Youth
for teenagers and the Junior Camp. Gradually the camp developed a series of tracked
Kallah
programs based on both age and length of stay. Older children were put into a "counselor
in
training" program and assisted younger campers. Programs often focused on specific
aspects
of Jewish life and cultures such as antisemitism, Jewish ceremonies or kibbutzim in
Israel.
In addition the camps participated in programs such as music, dramatics and athletics.
The
camps are accredited by the American Camping Association.
The Myron S. Goldman Union Camp Institute Records (1961-1979) describe the administration
and programs of the Goldman Camp Institute, in Zionsville, Indiana. The Goldman Camp
is
sponsored by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Records include correspondence,
publicity, rosters, staff manuals and program related materials.
