Remember Summer Camp?

My reminiscence about summer camp in the 1960s was recently published in a journal called Western States Jewish Studies. You might check at your local newsstand.

I love the abstract from EBSCO, one of the standard databases of obscure journals:

“A personal narrative is presented in which the author reflects on attending the Olin Sang Institute, a Jewish summer camp, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, with focus given to meals, discipline, and the use of firecrackers.”

You can see if your library has access by checking here: http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/84592218/olin-sang-institute-1963

I’ll see if it’s kosher to post some or all of it here. Stay tuned for the fireworks.
