Cooking workshops
Adaptation of the culinary workshops in the COVID-19 context
In 2022, the meal service will be back - at last! Kids will therefore be able to cook everyday for lunch and prepare two snacks with their respective groups.

Every day, kids take part in culinary activities and discover new foods and flavours. Recipes and activities are carefully selected by a nutritionist of Groupe Promo-Santé Laval. Workshops are given by a culinary specialist. Kids will prepare lunch and two snacks every day. Moreover, the educative garden will be tended to by the kids themselves! They will discover how to grow fruits and vegetables and how to properly take care of a garden.

Discovering Papineau woodland.
Everyday, our campers set out in the forest, right next to our building, to learn about nature and discover ecosystems. Bois Papineau is a natural reserve, which means it has a conservation status to protect the cathedral-like old-growth forests. There are also many wetlands, various forest types and many paths to hike in in this amazing urban forest.
The nature workshops held in the morning are always animated by a trained naturalist. Every day, the kids will visit the forest, do some birdwatching, treasure hunting, play games, look for critters, visit wetlands, and so on. Possibilities are endless. The idea is to learn and discover nature, while having fun and enjoying the summer vacations.
