To put it simply, this is a life-changing experience where the kids will learn what the outdoors can be for them throughout their lives. They will not only enjoy the farm and our horses, but will also learn about conservation initiatives in the region with several foraging excursions on the mountain and in the woods. We partnered up with l'École d'escalade de l'Outaouais so we could make the most of the Gatineau hills and bring the groups rock climbing. This is the first camp of its kind in the Outaouais region!
