Kids will take part in culinary activities and discover new foods and flavours. Recipes and activities are carefully selected by a nutritionist of Groupe Promo-Santé Laval. Workshops are given by a culinary specialist. Kids will prepare lunch and two snacks every day. Moreover, the educative garden will be tended to by the kids themselves! They will discover how to grow fruits and vegetables and how to properly take care of a garden.

Discovering Papineau woodland.
Every day except Tuesdays, our campers set out in the forest, right next to our building, to learn about nature and discover ecosystems. Bois Papineau is a natural reserve, which means it has a conservation status to protect the cathedral-like old-growth forests. There are also many wetlands, various forest types and many paths to hike in in this amazing urban forest.
The nature workshops held in the morning are always animated by a trained naturalist. Kids will visit the forest, do some birdwatching, treasure hunting, play games, look for critters, visit wetlands, and so on. Possibilities are endless. The idea is to learn and discover nature, while having fun and enjoying the summer vacations.
Examples of nature activities:
Centre de la nature
Kids will spend every Tuesday at Centre de la nature and will enjoy available infrastructures such as walking trails, outdoor play units, the pond as well as the farm and the pasture area.
