Summer camp

Summer camp

Adventure Challenge Camp for young people aged 10 to 14 years old

The Kinadapt summer camp was created for Paméla. As a child, she was not a fan of more traditional day camps …

She needed:

  • Surpass oneself and achieve oneself
  • Take care of nature and its inhabitants, create concrete projects, run on trails …
  • Team working
  • Improve physical and manual skills


What could be better than a training center with 30 km of trails, where are living 90 dogs, 30 chickens, 2 horses and a few cats and rabbits to achieve these goals!

Program

  • Introduction to farm work
  • Initiation to animal care (30 chickens, 2 horses, many cats and 86 dogs!)
  • Involvement in husky training
  • Multisport training (open-water swimming, trail running, hiking, canicross, mountain biking and outdoor yoga)
  • Ecotourism experience and interpretation of nature and wildlife
  • Involvement in 3 C missions (Conception, Creation and Construction)

Supervision:
Children are supported and supervised by a kinesiologist, a child life specialist and various guide-interpreters and instructors.

Camp coordinators:

Carole Turcotte, childlife specialist

Paméla Turcotte Boutin,  BSc Ecology and Horticulturalist
