History

Lodge no. 885 of B'nai Brith Canada founded the Ottawa Jewish Boy Scouts Camp in 1935, sponsoring forty underprivileged local Jewish boy scouts who wished to attend summer camp.[1] The camp, which would become Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa, was originally located in Dubrobin near Fitzroy Harbour, serving the Jewish communities of Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal.[2] While sponsored by the Lodge, the camp was initially run under the strict supervision of the District Boy Scouts Association.[3]

Beginning in 1938, Camp B'nai Brith set aside two weeks for a girls camp at the conclusion of the boys' four week camp.[4] The camp moved its current site on the shore of the Ottawa River in Quyon, Quebec in 1946.[5]
