We have come a long way since 1940…

Image that you are setting off on an unknown, exciting adventure to Camp Brébeuf for the first time. You have packed up your belongings and paid your camp fee of $6.50 for one week. It is the summer of 1942, so your camp fee includes transportation by train to Rockwood.

In 1977, at the request of Bishop P. F. Reding, the C.Y.O. took over the operation of the Diocesan residential camp, Camp Brébeuf. Like the day camp before it, Camp Brébeuf integrated disabled campers into its program, and pioneered the inclusion of special campers into Ontario Camping Association member camps.

Between 1987 and 1994 the Camp Brébeuf was given a thorough face-lift, including the winterization of the kitchen/dining hall and accommodations for up to seventy campers. Since 1994, Camp Brébeuf has become one of the premier year-round outdoor education centres in the province serving seven local school boards – both public and Catholic.
