WINTER CAMPS DETAILS

Our kid winter camp in French Immersion will give to your children the opportunity to practice French at all levels, it is also an easy and fun way to get back into before going back to school.

Our winter camps are supervised by two French instructors & outdoor guides. We offer various activities such as crosscountry and nordic backcountry skiing, snowshoeingorienteering and treasure hunts, art/craft/DIY activities etc..., all, on the trails and frozen lakes surrounding our log cabin at Fish Lake. The children will also spend a lot of time with our sled dogs which are an integral part of camp life, including during activities.

Kids will also experience overnights in our warm and comfy Arctic Oven Tent, with their guides.

Activities can include some writing and reading work to learn more vocabulary through games.
