The Federal Hostel at George River was located in the community of George River situated in the Arctic Quebec region approximately 150 miles northeast of Fort Chimo and 20 miles inland from the mouth of the Rivière George. The hostel operated for one summer in 1960 with no religious affiliation.

The hostel was not known by any other name.

The Government of Canada was responsible for its funding, which was managed and operated by the federal government for six weeks during the summer of 1960. The children returned to their home communities.

The hostel did not provide classroom instruction.

Twenty-four students were residents at the hostel for June to August 1960, and all students attended the George River Seasonal School in the Community Hall. In clear weather, the children were taken outside for games and hikes in the early evenings. In wet weather, they remained in their tents after supper until 7:30 p.m. and returned to the Community Hall to play with blocks, do art and crafts, sing, and dance.
