Description

Summer (May 16 to November 15)

Our full-day summer excursion includes several unique activities. You’ll start by learning how to hand-fish in a clear mountain stream. If you’re lucky, you will catch your lunch! Then you’ll head to our Athabascan Wood Bison reserve, created to protect this endangered species, where you will learn about these animals and their amazing history.

Back at camp for lunch, you’ll cook trout over a wood fire while our guide entertains with stories of ‘les coureurs des bois.’

After lunch, you will participate in nature interpretation, looking for tracks and other signs of the wildlife living in the Laurentian forest. After that, you’ll be taken to a sacred Native American ancestral site, erected by Dominique Rankin, Algonquin traditional chief. Our guide will explain their lifestyle as well as their different homes.

The day ends with a presentation on the different types of furs and habitats of the animals that live in the region. Nature education doesn’t get better than this!

Winter (November 16 to April 15)

Our full-day winter excursion includes several unique activities. We start with ice fishing, where you’ll have the chance to catch a brook or rainbow trout that you can bring home or cook for lunch! Fishing gear is provided.

Then you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch back at camp, which includes pea soup, trout cooked on a wood stove, buttered potatoes, and sugar pie for dessert. Non-alcoholic drinks like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate are also included.

After lunch, you’ll head out on snowshoes to look for animal tracks. You will explore fascinating wildlife habitats, including beaver dams, deer runs, wolf hunting grounds, partridges, snowy owls, coyotes, and Canadian lynx.

You will stop at an observation platform located at the top of our bison park, offering a great views of the Laurentian mountains. Next, you’ll visit the first Athabascan wood bison reserve in Quebec, created to protect and study these animals classified as an endangered species. Then, we take you to a sacred Native American ancestral site erected by Dominique Rankin, Algonquin traditional chief. Our guide will explain their lifestyle as well as their different homes.

The day will end with a visit to the kennel where you can enjoy playing with the sled dogs and learn all about the life of these fantastic canine athletes. Back at the chalet, a hot drink will be served.

We went as a family of 4 and had the guide to ourselves. The day was great and very much enjoyed by all members of the family. Stephane (our guide) was very knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and friendly. The staff at the reception was also very friendly, accommodating and professional. We enjoyed learning from Stephane's experience as well as the chance to try to start the fire, try edible plantstrees, see the shelters that have been built on the 3 day experience as well as cooking our fish over the fire. My 11 year old son was very excited to do the 3 day experience in order to try more of the skills he learned.

A group of 4 of us did the Woodsman tour/survival experience. We all had a really enjoyable experience. There was another group of 4 with us so 8 total with our guide. The guide was very experienced and explained everything clearly. All of the activities we did, ice fishing, lunch, snowshoeing, etc., were all very close to the activity center building which made the experience comfortable. No fish were caught by our group but the guide listened and brought us out of the cold and into the room where lunch was prepared to explain his past experiences with trapping and local wild animals. Lunch was warm and delicious. The snowshoeing experience was fun but also a decent workout in the deep snow. Viewing and learning about the Wood Bison on their reserve was an incredible surprise. Lots of fun for the active person. Highly recommended!

Famille | Aventures en nature (Homme des bois/Survie/Pêche) Nous avons participé à une randonnee de survie d'une journée au centre Kanatha-Aki. Mon fils de 15 ans et moi avons adoré. Nous avons appr;s beaucoup autant sur la theorie que la pratique....et sur nos propres capacités aussi. Alex, notre guide, nous a partagé ses multiples connaissances et savoir faires de manière amicale et professionnelle. . Il sait s'adapter au niveau de chacun et fait preuve d'un grand respect tant pour les hommes que la nature, Une activité extremement enrichissante et un centre magnifique à découvrir. Nous y retournerons surement.

The staff was wonderful. Playing with the sled dogs was definitely the highlight. Ice fishing was very interesting and we enjoyed it although it could have been shorter. Lunch was great. The snowshoeing to see the bison is much more strenuous than we had expected. It's completely uphill and quite steep at some parts. Several people on the trip struggled. There should definitely be a warning/notice that the trip is only appropriate for people in good athletic condition.
