On the Temiscamie river, located in Quebec's North, 9 young people experienced strong emotions in their canoes! The campgrounds, set up on sandy beaches along the river, were simply magnificent.

Throughout this adventure, the weather turned out to be quite a challenge; high winds, rain, cold temperatures were everyday occurrences. The teenagers met that challenge with courage and resiliency, in a truly positive atmosphere. Some found a hidden talent for fishing, which made it possible for us to savour walleye and pike. Among the team members, we had an Innu guide who enriched our experience with ancient cultural knowledge (smoked, wild salmon, sand-cooked 'bannique' (traditional flat bread), etc.)

Aboard three sailboats, 11 young people experienced the pleasures and challenges of sailing. On the Saguenay Fjord and the St. Lawrence River, the teenagers became sailors and, just like young deckhands, they executed the Captain's orders.

While navigating, the group discovered Beluga Whales, Mink Whales, and that giant of the sea, the Blue Whale. Together, we shared the beauty of sunsets, conquered a mountain in Bic Park, and crossed the St. Lawrence in dense fog, looking to avoid liners by radar. All these adventures made this trip truly memorable!
