History
In 1920, the Mount Royal Lodge of B'nai Brith Canada set out on a project to provide summer holidays for underprivileged Jewish boys.[3] The first campsite was located on a farm about Шаблон:Convert from Montreal, and only those children whose parents could not afford to pay for camping services were accepted.

Camp B'nai Brith moved to its current location in 1929.Шаблон:R All capital and operating costs were financed by Mount Royal Lodge until 1942, when Camp B'nai Brith became a constituent agency of the Combined Jewish Appeal. From 1954 to 1964, the camp grew to accommodate over 1000 campers, most of whom received scholarships to attend.Шаблон:R In the late 1970s, a seniors' vacation retreat was created at the camp in conjunction with the Cummings Golden Age Centre.[6]
