Our Summer Retreat venue, Le P'tit Bonheur / Dos bisele glik, is situated on the shores of Lac Quenouille, and has a range of four-season accommodations. With easy access to Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Montreal, the venue has operated as an outdoor leisure centre for over 60 years. Dos bisele glik features indoor and outdoor dining options, a variety of indoor and tented classrooms, comfortable common spaces, hiking trails, and a lakefront with swimming and boating.
Accommodations
Dos bisele glik (Le p’tit bonheur) is a four-season recreational facility with historic presence in the Laurentian mountains. The first building dates to 1962, with additional wings and buildings added over the following years. Participants staying onsite should expect and prepare for a camp environment, rather than a hotel.
Important Notes:
- Unless otherwise noted, lower bunks will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis.
- Based on your accessibility requests and roommate preferences, we will do our best to put you in a room that meets your needs, but cannot guarantee preferred placement.
- Bedding and towels are not included but can be added at registration for a small extra fee. The facility has a limited amount of linens available, and will be available for purchase until sold out.

Catering

At KlezKanada’s Summer Retreat, participants will be served a menu of vegetarian meals. This includes three freshly-prepared meals and two snacks daily. Our vision is to ensure accessible and healthy meals that accommodate the needs of our diverse community and that whenever possible, produce is sourced locally. Additional dietary restrictions will be accommodated for those who request them in their registration form.
We seek to balance our commitment to a Summer Retreat that welcomes people with a wide range of Jewish observance with costs, resources, and the needs of the program as a whole. Management and delivery of the food service is a significant part of the cost of the Summer Retreat program. The kitchen will not be under direct rabbinic supervision. However, all wines and snacks will be from a hechshered source. Participants may select the option of pre-packaged Rabbinically-certified meals upon registration at no additional cost.
