Historical Note
Camp Tikvah first opened its doors in 1947 in Aitkin, Minnesota, after a previous camp, Council Camp, was shuttered in Hinkley. Backed by the Minneapolis Jewish Community Center, the camp served Jewish children until its close in 1983. Offering sports, canoeing, horseback trips, and arts and dramatics, the summer camp provided a Jewish learning environment that was popular with Jewish youngsters from around the cities and across temples and synagogues. This collection consists of materials from Camp Tikvah from 1960 through 1994, when a camp reunion occured.
