A Summer Camp for Boys

The journey begins the moment the boys arrive at our camp, nestled in the wilderness of northern Laurentians (Laurentides) Quebec. Camp Nominingue is a traditional, English summer camp for boys, offering orienteering, canoe tripping, archery and numerous other activities and programs. Split into sections based on age, the boys are given the opportunity to plot their own camp course for the summer, by selecting from a variety of program choices.

Perhaps they might choose to set out on one of our many wilderness canoes tripping programs. Our extensive wilderness canoe tripping expertise stems from a program that has sent out almost 4000 canoe trips since 1925. Boys aged 16 can enter our Leaders-in-Training program to develop leadership skills.

While in camp, the boys get to choose specific instructional programs, which are complemented by a wide array of camp programming and events. Each afternoon and evening the boys take part in a variety of programs usually by section. At least once a week we run all camp games that span several activity periods and involve campers of all ages. At the end of both sessions the campers take part in a two day all camp event, Tribal Games in July and Voyageur Games in August.

Twice daily free swim periods give the boys access to our fleet of waterfront equipment and land based activities, while afternoon rest periods allow time for quite reading and games. Through it all, the emphasis on creating a safe and fun environment for the boys to develop new skills and independence is paramount.
