Edphy is currently looking for their Chapeau d’Or 2016 recipient. Each year, this prize is awarded to an animator or specialist that stands out, all like a golden pearl.

Do you know any young individuals aged 17 or older that are dynamic, responsible creative and work well in a team? If so, we want to meet them! Send us their name and email to [email protected] and we will contact them shortly to formally invite them to join Edphy International’s great big family!

We thank you for contributing to our organization’s success!

The 2015 Golden Hat was awarded to Charlotte Lemieux-Bourque, nurse at our summer camp. Her devotion, sense of initiative and magic which was brought to our camp, made her a great candidate and recipient for this award.

For over 50 years now, Edphy is specializing in first time. Indeed, we have been fortunate to witness several first time in people’s lives who have passed through the organization, as campers and employees. First job, first responsibilities, first bike ride, first dive and more … we were there! This is also the main driver behind the organization : to create first times!

Christmas is just around the corner! Whether you are a young adult seeking an employment or a parent who wishes to offer a summer filled with many discoveries to his or her child, there is still time to offer the Edphy gift!

This year again, Edphy is proud to announce the opening of a new day camp located at the Collège Beaubois in Montreal, in the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough! With its exceptional location, its modern and air-conditioned facilities and our super dynamic management team, it can only be a huge success!

And what about our other innovations? Here is a sneak peek:

First, given the increasing number of campers attending our Rosemere day camp, we will be moving our main site of activities to the Jacques-About campus in Sainte-Thérèse. With, among others, two large gymnasiums, its multifunctional rooms, its new synthetic soccer field and games room, everyone will find its place! Moreover, a shuttle service will allow us to continue to enjoy our access to the Mille-Iles River for the rabaska, the well-equipped gymnasium for tennis and much more of the Rosemere campus!

In addition, our now famous nautical base will be relocated to a new site in St-Donat, near the Ouareau Lake! This new location will enable a multitude of new activities that you will discover on your first day of visit.

Also, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to all our 13 to 16 years old campers who wish to live hectic holiday by participating in the thrilling activities offered in the Super Challenge program for a 6 days or 13 days stay directly at our summer camp in Val Morin. Furthermore, for those who wish to live outdoor adventures, a brand new 13-day program is available to them: Outdoor Action!

Finally, several activities were also added to our Multisports program in our day camps, including Tag à l’Arc in Dorval! We invite you to check out all the details on our website to learn more!

So are you looking forward to this summer 2016?
