URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute

Embrace Jewish life, build community, and grow through summer adventures

Nestled on the shores of Lac La Belle in Wisconsin, URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI) offers enriching summer camp experiences for children and teens. Since its founding in 1952, OSRUI has been a vibrant Reform Jewish community where campers build lifelong friendships, explore their Jewish identity, and develop new skills in a supportive and fun environment. The camp's picturesque setting provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures, creative arts, and joyful Jewish living. OSRUI offers a diverse range of programs designed to cater to various interests, including specialties in arts, sports, adventure, and Hebrew immersion. Campers participate in a wide array of activities such as swimming, boating, drama, dance, music, photography, and nature exploration, all while fostering a strong sense of community and connection to Jewish values. The dedicated staff, many of whom are OSRUI alumni, are committed to nurturing each camper's growth, encouraging independence, and fostering a deep appreciation for Jewish culture and traditions. The camp emphasizes a balance of structured programming and opportunities for self-discovery, ensuring every child has a memorable and meaningful summer experience. With a strong focus on creating a supportive and inspiring community, OSRUI helps campers develop confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of belonging. The camp's immersive Jewish environment includes daily tefillah (prayer), Shabbat celebrations, and opportunities to learn about Jewish history and values in engaging ways. OSRUI is more than just a summer camp; it's a place where children embrace their heritage, forge lasting relationships, and create cherished memories that extend far beyond the summer season.
