Fifty Years Of Jewish Camping
BY ABE BONDER, DIRECTOR OF CAMPING, NATIONAL JEWISH WELFARE BOARD
When the 1961 camping season gets under way this summer it will be exactly 50 years since the establishment of Surprise Lake Camp in New York City, which marked the beginning of organization-sponsored c"mjvin�r for Jewish children in the United States.
The striking changes recently made in the facilities of this oldest organized camp for Jewish children emphasize the progress of half a century. Formerly living quarters for 500 campers were concentrated in a very small centralized area of the camp site. Today the housing has been rebuilt into small villages, each serving 36 children, spread over many acres. As a result, much of the camp program can be developed within the separate villages and geared more easily to the ages and needs of the campers. The new housing arrangement curtails the excitement and tension created by mass groupings and allots the children much greater freedom in sharing with the staff the planning of activities. The village set-up has also made it possible for Surprise Lake Camp to house boys and girls in neighboring units, thus facilitating cooperative activities that contribute to the social development of the campers.
Since Surprise Lake Camp was opened at the turn of the century, Jewish organizations throughout the country have established 140 other resident summer camps for children. Most of these camps are in the northeastern and midwestern sections of the country, close to the heaviest concentration of Jewish population. Thirty-six of these camps are operated by Jewish Community Centers. Various1 Zionist groups sponsor 27. The others are projects of philanthropic societies, Jewish education agencies and a variety of other communal groups. In aggregate, the 140 camps serve over 40,000 children during the summer season. The camps range in size from those that serve as few as 40 to those with facilities for as many as 800 campers.
on the
sponsoring organization. In camps operated by Jewish .Community Centers, the program stresses the values of group living in an outdoor environment. Center camp programs embrace various aspects of Jewish culture without special emphasis on any one ideology. Religious practice in Center camps depends upon the wishes of parents and children served. The objective here i� to create observances related both to Jewish tradition and to the understanding of the children.
Zionist-sponsored camps concern themselves with the development of interest in and knowledge of various aspects of Zionism. All of the Labor Zionist camps attempt to demonstrate types of communal living in contemporary Israel. The General Zionist campa emphasize broad phases of Jewish and Israeli culture. The three camps sponsored by the Brandeis Youth Foundation seek to provide concentrated periods of training in Zionist culture for young people selected as poten-

tial leaders of Zionist youth groups. Camps operated by Jewish education groups utilize the camping period for intensive Jewish education. Many of these camps endeavor to use Hebrew almost exclusively in daily living so that campers may acquire greater speaking and understanding proficiency in the language. In'most large cities, philanthropic organizations and service clubs sponsor summer camps for Jewish children from low economic levels. These camps emphasize the value of removing youngsters from poor and crowded environments for a period of refreshment in the country.
Groups sponsoring organized Jewish camps are served by the Campimg Department of the National Jewish Welfare Board. Through this department JWB makes available during the camping season and throughout the year consultation on all aspects of camping, including program aids, pre-camp leadership training courses, plans for improved facilities, aid in improving camp standards, and practices and factual data on camping trends.
Regardless of their sponsorship, all Jewish organized camps operate on a noiv-profit basis. Fees are based on meeting the actual costs of camping* service. Camps for children of low economic levels make mo charge or set it low enough to meet the ability to pay of those they serve. All of the camps, however, have generous and extensive scholarship programs.
Most organized Jewish camps serve children between the ages of 8 and 15. A few also serve mothers and younger children while a number serve older youth. In recent years there has been a trend toward providing special camping periods for young adults immediately after the close of the children's camping season. The use of camps on weekends and during various vacation periods throughout the year is also growing. In addition, there is an. . increased attempt to develop. a

winter and summer "group experiences of those served by campi.
As organized Jewish camping moves into its second half century, a wumber of general trends are beginning to be apparent. There is increasing contact, between camp directors in the larger communities ad well as the beginnings of cooperative efforts in behalf of higher standards of service. A start has been made in? several communities toward community-wide planning for camping service as a communal responsibility and as an integral part of. the community's Jewish group work services. In a number of cases Jewish Camp Councils have been established to bring together camps sponsored by Jewish groups to consider mutual problems and to work together on various projects. Joint recruitment and training of camp leadership are becoming a more accepted practice.
Program-wise, the formalized and tightly scheduled pattern is giving way to programs more democratically planned by campers aod staff together. As a result, children have increased opportunities for learning how to work with each other and camp activities are becoming more closely attuned to the ages and interest* of the child-
