Camp Miriam is a summer camp located on Gabriola Island in British Columbia, Canada, and is one of the six active summer camps associated with Habonim Dror North America (HDNA), one of two in Canada, the other being Machaneh Gesher in the Ontario. When not in session, ken events are run at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver, at various houses of madrichimot , or elsewhere in the city.

The summer camp is open to children entering grades 2 through 10. The year before grade 11 is reserved for Machaneh Bonim Israel (MBI), and that age group (called nachshonimot) are offered a weekend at Machaneh Miriam that does not overlap with MBI. The youngest group, called Nitzanimot, are somewhat separate from the rest of the campers and do not participate in most cross-kvutza activities, like avoda (literally 'work', the hour or so after breakfast in groups to take care of things like cleaning washrooms, moving and storing materials for later activities, preparing food for lunch, and so forth) or pick-your-own-activity times.

  • due to differences in schooling systems' cutoffs for dividing grades, campers are sometimes placed into the kvutza a year above or below their grade, more in accordance with their actual age, or vice versa to keep campers of similar school levels together.

Amelimot contains both years of campers entering grades 3 and 4, so depending on the number of campers, the group is sometimes split into two, with the chanichimot picking the kvutza names. Rarely, the reverse occurs when there are insufficient campers in the upper years. For instance (I heard about this one but don't remember many details), Shomrim and Tzofim (or was it Tzofim and Bonim?) once combined into one group called [I can't remember what it was].
