Amazing Details

* Whitewater Rafting, Kayaking & Horseback Riding - Tewkesbury
Wetsuits, helmets, booties, and lifejackets and you are ready to raft for two adventurous days down the Jacques Cartier River. On day 1, the "panorama" enables us to learn to work as a team positioning the raft, mastering paddle strokes, and preparing for tomorrow's challenges of class III and IV roaring whitewater. From our riverside base camp, try a paddle of a different sort as we kayak in a quiet lagoon and trade paddles for saddles to ride horseback along scenic trails.

* Biking & Hiking - Mont Sutton
Cycle along the scenic Granby bike path, famed for its fountains and 40 well maintained parks. Hike the shaded trails of Mont Sutton for beautiful views of the surrounding townships.

* Whitewater Kayaking - Rouge River
Whitewater kayaking is NOT all extreme. Everyone can kayak, and the feeling you get the first time you descend a rapid or surf a wave is beyond description. Our two-day expedition begins in calm waters where we learn basic strokes and how to roll. Expert guides teach you edging, and low and high bracing to prepare you to whitewater kayak down the Rouge River. After our overnight group bonding on H2O Island's natural environment, we enjoy a thrilling mini-descent of class I and II rapids. If you are ready, learn the art of reading rivers and hitting eddies.

* Rock Climbing School - Val David, Laurentians
With more than 500 rock climbing routes, Val-David is known as the "birthplace of climbing" in Eastern Canada. We climb for two days with expert guides safely instructing your every step. Develop skills and climb, belay and rappel according to your ability!

* Canoeing - La Verendrye National Park
Our two-day canoe trip takes us through this vast park of lakes, rivers and countless brooks and waterfalls. Spend a night under the stars traveling through this vast park of lakes, rivers, and countless brooks and waterfalls.

* "Acro-Branch," Alpine Coaster and Hiking - Mont Tremblant
Challenge yourself and further develop teamwork skills on the "acrobranch" challenge - 750 feet of ropes course in the forest canopy 30 feet above the ground  with a great zip line finish! We hike to the top of Mont Tremblant - for views from the highest peak in the Laurentians. Ride down the track on the amazing Alpine Coaster and cool off at the incredible Mt. St. Sauveur Waterpark.

* Community Service
Giving something back to our parks and community is an important part of our group experience. Past group projects have varied from maintaining Parc Tremblant to sorting clothing and food at a shelter for those in need.

* Plus The Lighter Side... Quebec City & Montreal
Discover fortress-like Quebec City with 3D multi-media show, and marvel at street performers made famous by the Cirque du Soleil. In Montreal, stay at world renowned McGill University, tour the underground city, ice skate at the Atrium, walk the cobblestone streets of the Old City, battle at laser tag and enjoy the thrilling rides at Six Flags La Ronde Amusement Park. Dine at our farewell banquet and look back with pride at all that we have accomplished!
