Located just 80 km from Montreal, in Val-Morin, the Edphy International Nature Center has been a pioneer since the 1960s, offering nature classes to Quebec students. Recognizing the near absence of physical education and outdoor activities in schools, our founder Yvan Dubois, convinced of their importance as an educational complement, opened the doors of Edphy to schools, inspiring a lasting trend in the industry. Today, our site remains an exceptional place to learn and experience outdoor activities that bring people together. Nestled at the foot of the beautiful Laurentians, it spans 590 acres of nature, including a private lake and an unparalleled recreational sports park.

Our young adventurers returned yesterday with stars in their eyes after an unforgettable winter stay at the Edphy camp! Between exploring snowy trails with snowshoes, Land Art activities, broom ball games, tubing slides, and outdoor games, every moment was an opportunity to learn, have fun, and discover the beauty of the snowy landscapes. The magical moment of the trip: a fairy-tale evening around the fire, filled with laughter and stories shared under a starry sky.
