Once a boys' school, Camp 30 in Bowmanville, Ontario was a Prisoner of War camp for top-ranking Nazi German officers during World War II who were transferred from Britain. It was originally made up of 17 buildings on approximately 100 acres of land which held hundreds of Prisoners of War. Many have been lost to fire and vandalism. The prisoners were treated very well with a gymnasium, indoor pool and were well-fed. It was known as Camp 30 from October of 1941 to April of 1945. After the war, the prisoners were then sent back to Europe, and the buildings returned to a boys' school.

Since, it was converted into Darul Uloom Islamic University which closed in 2008. The buildings have been left standing since bought up by a developer to flatten and turn into subdivisions, which has brought about much controversy to many who would like to have it restored as a Heritage Site. The developers claim they will not be using the existing buildings as they are beyond repair. Exploring took many hours but was well-worth it and enjoyable.
