While processing a collection of Monon Railroad drawings from the 1920s, we uncovered this interesting drawing of the section of bridge spanning the White River in Broad Ripple. Camp Ida Wineman is prominently represented near the bridge, complete with its two-story building, porch and portico, however we have found little information about the camp. One reference mentions it was a Jewish summer camp in the early 1900s. Anyone know anything else about it?
My Mom, now 98 years old, attended this camp for several years, both as a camper and a counselor. I'm sitting with her right now -- googled the camp name because she was remembering her years there.
