Camp Massad of Manitoba (Hebrew: מַחֲנֶה מַסָד, translit. Maḥaneh Massad) is a Jewish summer camp located north of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba, in the Interlake Region near Winnipeg. It is the only Hebrew immersion camp in Western Canada.[2]

The camp attracts campers from Winnipeg, other parts of Canada and various cities in the United States.[3] Camp Massad is a registered charity and an accredited member of the Manitoba Camping Association.[4]

History[edit]

The camp was founded in 1953 by members of Habonim under the leadership of Soody Kleiman, supported by the Keren Hatarbut.[5] Eddie Yuditsky, principal of the Winnipeg Hebrew School, served as Massad's first director and Leona Billinkoff as the first 'camp mother' (a position she would keep until 1978).[6] The camp was officially incorporated as a branch of the Hebrew Camps Massad of Canada, Massad Gimmel, in 1962.[7]

The Hebrew Congregation of Winnipeg Beach synagogue, founded in 1950, moved to the site of Camp Massad in 1998.[8]
