Where We Stay

	From day one, our leaders introduce you to the joy of camping and guide you in everything you need to know. On this tour you will stay at private campgrounds or Provincial Parks where you'll find private, hot showers and bathroom facilities. On a very limited basis, like our overnight canoe trip, we will be at a site without the convenience of indoor plumbing. You’ll enjoy sturdy tents with quick and simple set-up; we provide thermal rest mattresses so there’s no need to buy your own. In Montreal and in Quebec City, we’ll stay indoors at college dorms. You’ll enjoy the excitement of city entertainment, activities and nightlife before your final banquet dinner and your return home.
