Over the course of two days, adventurers camp amid nature, alternating kayak expeditions and stargazing by the light of the fire at night. At campsites, children play volleyball and parents set off in canoes to explore a private lake surrounded by pine trees. Customers can quench exercise-induced thirsts with the drinks kept in the cooler of the onsite terrace bar.

Rafting excursions take place on a 9-kilometer section of the Jacques-Cartier River, where groups of up to 10 rafters navigate Class III and IV rapids with professional guides. Along the trip, patrons can leave the boats and put their courage to the test by jumping from the top of a cliff or body surfing.
