About
Camp Livingston is a Jewish residential youth camp that offers a summer experience for Jewish children and young adults. The camp facility includes 22 renovated cabins, modern bathhouses, updated buildings, athletic fields, a private lake, and additional on-site features.
• Ages: 7–18 years old
Camp Livingston was started in 1920 on 18 acres in Indian Hill, Ohio on the site of the Helen Trounstine Camp. In 1969, the camp opened its current location on 680 wooded acres in Switzerland County, Indiana, and in 1972 it merged with the Jewish Community Center of Greater Cincinnati. In 2001, Camp Livingston separated from the Cincinnati JCC and became an independent nonprofit. The camp is a nonprofit community-based camp and is committed to providing services to all Jewish families regardless of their affiliation, and no one is denied admission or program benefits because of race, color, national origin, sex, or age. Camp Livingston is a Jewish Community Center Association affiliated overnight camp and continues to serve the region including Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Louisville.
Camp Livingston’s mission states that it enriches the lives of its campers and staff by providing a fun, unique, community experience, while encouraging the development of Jewish identity within a safe and inclusive environment, and that it enables the formation of lifelong friendships and participation in recreational and creative programming. The camp lives by six core values: Kehillah (Community), Hachlala (Inclusion), Kavod (Respect), Zechut Yehudit (Jewish Identity), Manhigut (Leadership), and Yichut Atsmo (Personal Growth). 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, having fun at camp, and wanting to return year after year.
