Camp 30 History ‘External Links Page’ (updated frequently).

A quick search on Google digs up a lot of history related to Camp 30 in Bowmanville. Every year more YouTube videos about Camp 30 are made. Some are really good–others are filled with misinformation. You may have noticed that this fall-2025 the Jury Lands Foundation redesigned its website. We removed some of these former links so I’m building the ‘external links page’ through this post. …. I’ll continue to add and update this links page so please check this post on occasions.
