Ready to trade sidewalks for shorelines?
Come join McGill’s Canoe Camping Frosh!
Spend a weekend paddling through one of Quebec’s most iconic wilderness; La Mauricie National Park. We’ll kick things off at Lac Wapizagonke, where you’ll get a quick intro to canoeing, safety, and all the “how do I not tip this thing over?” essentials. Then we’re off—splitting into groups to explore the lake by canoe and (for the brave / curious) taking on a light portage route through forest trails. Days are a mix of paddling, swimming, shoreline chilling, and wandering conversations that somehow turn into I feel like I’ve known this person forever energy by sunset. Saturday, everyone switches routes so you get the full experience. By Sunday, we ease into a slow morning, pack up camp, and paddle out together one last time. It’s part farewell, part “ I’m glad I met such awesome people,” and 100% the kind of weekend that sticks with you!
Location: La Mauricie National Park
We can’t wait to meet you!
