About
Camp Livingston is a Jewish residential youth camp that offers a summer experience for Jewish children and teens. The camp operates as a nonprofit community-based camp and states that no one is denied admission or benefits because of race, color, national origin, sex, or age. Its facility includes 22 renovated cabins, modern bathhouses, updated buildings, athletic fields, and a private lake.
• Ages: 7–18 years old
Camp Livingston has been in operation since 1920, when it started on 18 acres in Indian Hill, Ohio on the site of the Helen Trounstine Camp, and it has been located on 680 wooded acres in Switzerland County, Indiana since 1969. In 1972, it merged with the Jewish Community Center of Greater Cincinnati, and in 2001 it became an independent nonprofit while continuing as a Jewish Community Center Association affiliated overnight camp. The camp describes six core values that guide its community: Kehillah (Community), Hachlala (Inclusion), Kavod (Respect), Zechut Yehudit (Jewish Identity), Manhigut (Leadership), and Yichut Atsmo (Personal Growth). The mission of Camp Livingston is to enrich the lives of campers and staff by providing a fun, unique, community experience and encouraging the development of Jewish identity within a safe and inclusive environment, while enabling the formation of lifelong friendships and participation in recreational and creative programming. The leadership team includes Executive Director Max Yamson; Camp Director Abby Solomon; Assistant Director, Camper Care and Staff Experience Blake Canowitz; Assistant Director, Development and Operations Ethan Wittenberg; and Assistant Director, Programming and Retreats Brad Brown. A camper quote on the Camp Livingston website describes it as a “home away from home” and mentions making friends, trying fun new activities, and returning year after year.
