At Machane Massad, our children capture the wonder of youth and embrace their Jewish heritage through meaningful programs and experiences. A limited enrolment of just 150 campers ensures individual attention for each child and personal, hands-on interaction among campers and counsellors. Through unparalleled creative, interactive programming, our stellar staff and emphasis on Hebrew, our choice-based schedule allows each camper to participate in the activities he or she wants to experience while promoting individual achievement, skill development and the creation of friendships which will last a lifetime.

The opportunities for children today are remarkable. Few, however, can provide the kind of profound experience available at a Jewish sleep-away camp. At a time when we hope to give our kids the skills they need to succeed, we sometimes miss the forest for the trees. At Machane Massad, we invite you to walk this forest where our campers find a summer home. A place to grow stronger physically, emotionally and spiritually, to find challenge and discover a new confidence, develop character with new adventures and have a blast with new friends.

Camp Massad is located on a beautiful lake in the Laurentian mountain range in Southern Quebec, about 90 minutes north of Montreal.

Our campers come from all over Canada, United States, Israel and even campers from international locations!

Camp is divided into two session. Campers can stay for both sessions, or one. We also have shorter starter-camps for first time campers who are not ready to spend the whole summer away! Visit our registration page to learn more about the 2013 session.

We provide busses from Montreal and Toronto, and offer a pick-up service from Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport for international campers.

Included in the Camp Massad tuition is bus transportation to and from camp, laundry services, tuck (canteen), and all trips and activities within the session dates.

Massad is not a uniform camp. We encourage our campers and staff to dress however they feel comfortable, though we try to be respectable on Shabbat and Holidays.

There are approximately 150 campers each session. To learn about the units at camp, click here

Camp food is always nutritious and delicious! Camp is OU certified with a full-time Mashgiach on staff. We provide a salad bar at lunch and dinner, and have plenty of vegetarian options. We have fresh fruit for snack, as well as the occasional cookie! Our wonderful chefs George & Mimimelon create appetizing weekly meal schedules everyone enjoys.
