Camp B’nai Brith Case for Support

Camp B’Nai Brith Ottawa has welcomed thousands of young people to its 100-acre site near Quyon, Quebec

Camp B’nai Brith Ottawa was founded in 1935 when B’nai Brith Men’s Ottawa Lodge #885 came to the assistance of local Jewish Boy Scouts who wanted to spend a couple of weeks at summer camp.

Camp B’nai Brith Ottawa – Where Lifetime Friendships Begin

Since 1945, Camp B’Nai Brith Ottawa has welcomed thousands of young people to its 100-acre site near Quyon, Quebec.

Camp B’nai Brith Ottawa draws campers and staff from across Canada, the United States, Europe and Israel, yet at its heart, it is still the Ottawa camp envisioned by its founders over eight decades ago. Friendships that began at the camp have lasted for lifetimes.
