FAMILY INTRO TO CAMPING

PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BEFORE RESERVING 

Get ready for an unforgettable family adventure with our Family Intro to Camping event! In partnership with SEPAQ and Parc Jean-Drapeau in celebration of their 150th anniversary, we're excited to offer an extraordinary camping experience nestled at les Îles-de-Boucherville. This event is specifically designed for families new to camping, providing a fun, safe, and inclusive introduction to the great outdoors.

Over the course of three days, from September 13 to 15, 2024, families will enjoy a weekend filled with FREE activities, including yoga, canoeing, cycling, and more. Experience the thrill of staying in a ready-to-camp tent and make lasting memories with campfires, s'mores, and storytelling sessions under the stars. Additional activities like the climbing wall challenge, beach fun, BBQ, and music make this event packed with excitement for everyone.

Families are entirely independent and responsible for their own camp setup. While scheduled activities are available, participants can sign up for the activities of their choice and enjoy the freedom to explore and engage at their own pace throughout the weekend.

For Who:This event is exclusively for families with children/youth of 2-5 members. Solo campers are not permitted to reserve tents, ensuring that families can fully experience their first camping adventure together.
