Harry Bronfman Y Country Camp
We'll be staying at the awesomely beautiful Harry Bronfman Y Country Camp on beautiful Lake Miré just 2 hours north of Montreal. Get that close to nature feeling even while eating meals with friends! The dining hall has a beautiful 360 degree view! The camp is on three, yes three lakes, with three waterfronts! Remember the Blob? Catapult your friends into the lake! It wouldn't be Canada without hockey; this camp has two beautiful ball hockey rinks. Never tried canoe hockey? This is your chance!

After the sun goes down, we'll mingle and schmooze, learn new dances, watch for the Northern Lights, and listen to some great music. Remember to sign up your talent for Talent Night! We'll celebrate Shabbat and Havdallah with beautiful candlelight ceremonies, take a night hike, do some stargazing, and enjoy the nightly Mosaic campfire on the beach.
Pre-Trip
Before heading to camp, take a few days to experience the fine old city of Montreal. Join us for sightseeing in this centuries old city with a modern skyline and a European flair. Like most major cities, there is too much to see in only two days, but our wonderful hosts are looking forward to sharing some of the highlights of their wonderful city.
