Grand Expedition Summer 2024

Our expedition will begin in Montreal, where the group will meet before the grand departure. On August 13th, we will hit the road to Domaine Pine Grove, by bus, to meet our guides, starting to learn some canoe techniques and do some gear preparation. We’ll spend this first night in a cabin.

The next morning, when the preparation will be over, we’ll jump on a shuttle with all our equipment to reach our departure point on the lake at Réserve Faunique La Vérendrye. From this moment, our canoe adventure will begin for the next 9 days. During our expedition, we’ll travel between 2 and 10 km per day, for a total of almost 65 km in nine days. In order to progress from one lake to another we will sometimes have to portage our canoes and our equipment on portage trails, this will add a challenge to our expedition and allow us to discover even more territory. We’ll sleep in tents, on a new campsite we’ll establish every night. On the campsite, we’ll share the chores: cooking, fire, wood collecting, dishes etc. We’ll live outside for the whole duration of the trip, but we’ll have delicious hot meals cooked on the fire every night. On August 22nd, we’ll end our journey on the water and enjoy one last celebration night all together at the Domaine Pine Grove. The next day, we’ll get back to Montreal by bus and then home.
