    History

    Established in August 1925 as Boys' Welfare Home and School, it was the first training school in Ontario. In 1931, it was renamed the Ontario Training School for Boys, Bowmanville. During World War II, it was commandeered by the military and temporarily became Camp 30, a prisoner-of-war camp for high-ranking German officials. Returned to the province after the war, it was renamed the Pine Ridge School in 1967. Cold Springs Camp, located about 20 miles from Bowmanville, was used as a day camp for the school. Becoming co-educational in 1977, it was closed in October 1979.
