The National Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY) and their regional affiliate, The Central Area Federation of Temple Youth (CAFTY), sponsored Camp Saratoga during the 1950s and 1960s. Located in Santa Clara County, California, Camp Saratoga provided education and entertainment for Jewish youth during the summer months. Also known as Camp Swig, the facility continues to operate in conjunction with the Union for Reform Judaism.
This collection of documents was donated by Judith Endelman (née, Epstein). It is unknown whether Mrs. Endelman was an attendee of the camp but eventually became a counselor at Camp Saratoga. 1
