Wilderness Adventure Camp - Camp Fortune

Real outdoor skills. Lake adventures. A week without a phone.

Give your child a week of hands-on discovery at Camp Fortune in Chelsea, Quebec. Designed for ages 8–15, this wilderness day camp combines practical survival skills with outdoor adventures in the Gatineau Hills.

Campers practise building shelters and fires, navigating with a map and compass, and learning first aid and rescue techniques. They’ll also learn to set up a fishing rod, tie flies and fish safely—skills they can bring along on future family adventures.

The fun continues with archery, hiking, an aerial park, nature crafts and team-building games. Weekly outings include exploring the wetland water maze at Éco-Odyssée and visiting Lac La Pêche for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding and fishing. Throughout the week, campers have opportunities to work together, set personal goals and grow more confident outdoors.

With just 26 campers each week, it’s an opportunity to make friends, try new challenges and spend summer days learning by doing.
