About OSRUI
URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI) is a vibrant, year-round Jewish community located in Oconomowoc, WI and rooted in a long history of excellence, meaningful traditions, and the belief that each of us is created B’tzelem Elohim, in God’s image.

Each summer, more than 1,000 campers and staff come together to experience the joy and magic of Jewish camping. Through innovative Jewish experiences, creative spiritual life, outstanding programs, and a caring community, campers build confidence, deepen their Jewish identity, and develop a lasting sense of belonging.
Beyond the summer, OSRUI operates a robust year-round retreat and conference business, welcoming congregations, organizations, families, and other groups to gather, learn, celebrate, and build community. This year-round work extends OSRUI’s impact, deepens relationships with the communities we serve, and is an important part of the camp’s business and operating model.

OSRUI’s community extends well beyond its physical campus. Staff work alongside rabbis, cantors, educators, congregations, families, alumni, donors, lay leaders, and community partners to create a place where people feel safe, supported, included, and able to thrive.
