The summer camp maintained by the Brandeis Youth Foundation at Santa Susana, Cal., will be converted into an all-year-round institute to train young men and women for positions as camp directors and youth leaders, it was learned today.
The decision to take this action was reached by the foundation’s board at a meeting at the camp. At present, the camp and two other camps maintained by the foundation at Winterdale, Pa., and Hendersonville, N.C., are operated for two summer months to give men and women between 18 and 25 an intensive orientation in Jewish life. Several thousand young men and women have attended these camps during the 10 years of their operation. Many of them have subsequently assumed positions of leadership in their communities.
