Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute is operated under the auspices of the Union for Reform Judaism, and not only is it our regional summer URJ camp, it was founded by our Rabbi Emeritus, Herman Schaalman, during the 1950s.

It is our goal here at Emanuel that any family who wishes to send their child to Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute will be able to. We believe in this powerful Jewish experience for our children, and that it is an integral part of their educational process.

OSRUI is located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and sits on over 200 acres of land adjacent to Lac LaBelle -- a clear inland lake over seven miles around. Over the summer, approximately 1000 campers from North America and beyond attend OSRUI. Programs are available to youngsters entering third grade through high school.

Campers choose from five different program units according to their main area of interest and grade level. Camp sessions range from two weeks to seven weeks depending on the particular session. High school students may travel to Israel for five weeks on the OSRUI/NFTY in Israel program.

See the OSRUI website, www.osrui.org for more information about these programs. All of the sessions are staffed by mature college students, under the guidance of experienced senior staff members and faculty from across the country. OSRUI is proud of its commitment to providing campers with strong and encouraging Jewish role models.

Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute, our regional URJ summer camp, also offers many programs throughout the year open to members of Reform Congregations in our region and other interested individuals.

Springtime features the Devorah Quilting Kallah for those quilters who want to stitch together their creativity, spirituality, and Jewish identity and the Father & Son Kallah, for boys age 5-12 and their dads, grandfathers, or uncles. Hava Nashira is a song leaders workshop in the late spring featuring artists such as Debbie Friedman and Craig Taubman.

Adults interested in lifelong learning will want to check out the summer Lehrhaus program.

The fall season brings Chagigah, one of the world's leading Israeli folk dance camps, featuring a host of talented Israeli dance teachers; and the Mother & Daughter Kallah, for girls 5-12 and their moms, grandmothers, or aunts.

Chalutzim for Adults, a weekend of Hebrew language and fun, is held every other year in the winter. Family Camp is a great way to end the year, with lots of activities for kids and parents.
