Educational activities in nature
Our goal is to connect our youth to nature through experiences that make them think on their feet. Led by passionate park wardens, our activities allow young people to open up to their environment, to understand its fragility, and to live a full-scale nature experience!

| Guided hike: During a hike in the company of a park warden and naturalist, you will explore three "discovery stations" whose content will be adapted to the group's grade level. One of the stations will reveal the secrets of the St. Lawrence estuary, with its flagship wildlife (common eiders and seals) and the coastal organisms that inhabit it. The second station will help you understand the formation of the park's magnificent landscapes and introduce you to the geology of the region. At the third station, you will take a trip back in time from the era of the first occupants to the present day, touching on themes such as the Indigenous presence, maritime history, seigneuries, vacationing, fishing, agriculture, and the establishment of the national park. |
