Do you yearn for the mountains? To feel the summer wind on your face? If so, join hiking frosh!! Come experience the beauty of Quebec nature over a weekend in La Mauricie National Park! We have three days of fun hikes planned, all levels welcome, with swimming, campfires, games, and overall good vibes sprinkled in between. Upon arrival on Friday, we have a short 4km with packs to do before setting up camp. We’ll end off the evening with a sweet treat and some games. On Saturday, we have 12km (big pack free!!) around a lake, ending with a swim before heading back to camp. Sweet treats and games once again. Finally, we’ll wake up bright and early on Sunday to hike 15km with our packs, enjoy one last dip in a lake and then head back to your new home, beautiful McGill.
Location: La Mauricie National Park
Day 1: Meet at McGill, breakfast eaten and lunch packed. We’ll grab the bus to La Mauricie National Park and hike a quick 4km with our packs before setting up camp for the evening. Those still feeling adventurous will be able to go on a short evening walk around the campsite to the waterfront. The menu for the evening will be a yummy veggie chili with rice krispie treats for dessert
Day 2 : Wake up to pancakes and a Canadian staple, maple syrup, before hitting the trails for 12km big bag free. Pack your bathing suits for a quick dip along the way! We’ll enjoy sandwiches and snacks through the hike before getting back to camps for tofu tacos. Round out the evening with delicious smores and bonding around the campfire
Day 3: Wake up bright and early for oatmeal and to pack up camp, get ready for a big and rewarding day! We have 15km with our bags to hike to get to another swimming spot and catch the bus back to McGill. We’ll have sandwiches and snacks along the way once again
We can’t wait to meet you!
