  • Growing Up Milwaukee - Camping Exhibit
    On Display Sunday, July 25 through Sunday, November 28
    Jewish Museum Milwaukee, Ettinger Changing Exhibit Gallery

    • Join the Jewish Museum Milwaukee for a celebration of the time honored tradition of camping and its strong ties to Jewish values and culture. Camps throughout the state such as Sidney Cohen, Timberlane, B'nai B'rith Beber, Nebagamon and Interlaken emerged as settings where Jewish children could participate in enriching secular and spiritual experiences. This exhibit, looking at the past, present and future, includes images and memorabilia from camps and camping organizations throughout the region and demonstrates the passion, creativity and Ruach (Spirit), which exemplify the Wisconsin camping experience.
