Because summer is just around the corner.

Because the best of summer is Edphy.

Because we are so excited for our grand opening of the 2016 season on June 26th.

Because we want to share the news with as many people as possible…

Today, we officially launch the #soonedphy movement.

To participate, take a picture of yourself holding a sign that says #soonedphy and post it to your Facebook page with the following caption: “The Edphy experience starts in 3 months! Share the good news and participate in the #soonedphy movement by sharing your picture with the hashtag!”

Don’t forget to tag us in your post in order for us to see your pictures! The person who posts the most original concept will win one of each of our promotional items (water bottle, cap, t-shirt and hoodie)! Be creative!

We are happy to announce that the shooting of the second edition of the reality television series C.A.M.P is taking place this Spring at our vacation center in Val-Morin!

The eight new players and aspiring-animators must once again put to use their physical and intellectual strength in order to prove the potential they have at becoming an animator in a Summer camp. Can you guess who will host this year’s edition? It will be none other than the winner of the 2010 edition, Cédric Gaillard Desrosiers, who is currently assistant coordinator of Edphy International in Val-Morin! This is a wonderful opportunity for him to share his experience with other young candidates!

#OMG #aprilfools

You must therefore attend our open house taking place at our vacation center in Val-Morin, April 17th from 11-4 PM in order to meet him! He will also be readily available to sign a few autographs!

Come also meet our other star teams during their second and last open house days:

  • Edphy International Day Camp Edouard-Montpetit (Longueil): April 3rd, 2016 from 10-12 PM
  • Edphy International Day Camp Regina Assumpta (Montreal – Ahuntsic): April 9th, 2016 from 10-12 PM
  • Edphy International Day Camp Académie Ste-Thérèse (Ste-Thérèse): April 9th, 2016 from 2-4 PM
  • Edphy International Day Camp Beaubois (Montreal – Pierrefonds) April 10th, 2016 from 10-12 PM
  • Edphy International Day Camp Jean-XXIII (Dorval): April 10th from 2-4 PM
  • Edphy International Day Camp Villa Maria (Montreal – NDG): April 16th, 2016 from 10-12 PM

Are you wondering what type of world our campers are going to live in this summer? Here is a quick look at our 2016 theme! 

“After many months of rivalry, the International Olympic Committee has made their decision: Brazil will be the host of the 31st Summer Olympic games. What a deception for Edphy’s committee who thought they would be chosen!

We therefore decided to organize our own version of the games! Seeing as we have many contacts in the imaginary world, many different characters will come give us a helping hand to prepare it all. However, we must beware! We must keep a close eye on Brazil’s committee, as they worry the world will focus all their attention on us!

Citius, Altius, Fortius”

Will you be part of the adventure this summer?

 

This weekend, our seven coordination teams met for the first time to start preparing for the 2016 season!  Recruitment, workshops, open houses, themes … a busy day, but full of talent and creativity!

It makes us proud to introduce them to you!

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!
