ABOUT US

Wilderness trips have been an important part of my life since day one, thanks to the community I grew up in. I feel a great need to share and respect this beautiful planet we live on, to learn and grow in a present mindset discovering who we are. Living in the spirit of “Love what you do, do what you love” I fill my days with canoe trips, dog sledding, whitewater raft guiding, ski instructing, travelling, hiking, and sharing my passion for life through music, laughter and play. I am currently studying in Women, Gender and Sexuality studies and working hard to bring these important topics into my field of work.

I am an honest and playful person and value the courage it takes to be your true self. I believe that there is no better place to find that person than on trip in a safe environment. For me, trip is a place to be my best self, and drop it back down to the basics of community, food well earned, clean water and a beautiful view.

From a young age, my parents and family introduced me to the wonders of the outdoor! Knowing I loved teaching, being active and keeping a close connection with nature, becoming a G. That’s where I discovered my passion for whitewater! I continued my studies in Chicoutimi doing a bachelor's degree in Outdoor Leadership and Management to know more about outdoor learning and therapy and to build some experience in logistics and management. That led me to jobs concerning youth dealing with addictions, a logistics event jobs, canoe tripping and raft guiding. Leadership, logistics and human relations are what fascinates me most in adventures. Starting this company with Keva drives me on so many different levels, but I am also excited to be on the water with you this summer.

For me, nothing is more fulfilling and relaxing than being on trip. Nature brings us back to our senses and to simple living. It’s so rich to rediscover the beauty of the land and live in peace with it.

I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by family and friends who were passionate about nature and adventure. I quickly combined this passion for the outdoors with that of travel by discovering the beauty of the mountains in Peru, New Zealand, the French Alps and then in Quebec in the Uapishka Mountains (Groulx) or on the International Appalachian Trail. Canoeing has always been a part of my life, and has become an important part of it in the last few years.

I was able to professionalise my passion for the outdoors by completing the AEC in Adventure Guiding in Gaspé. I also completed a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies, during which I became very interested in environmental education and the importance of contact with nature. I have also worked for many years with young people in various sports, educational and outdoor contexts.

For me, expeditions are not only a way to learn and challenge oneself, but also a tool to become leaders in our community.

Since I was very young, I have been passionate about nature. I discovered team sports very early on, and outdoor activities came into my life shortly after. I have done a lot of family camping, and that’s what gave me the urge to learn more. I was fortunate enough to participate in a program that allowed me to add the outdoors into my life and my hobbies during my high school years. During my enrolment at university, I realized that I could work in this field, and my bachelor's studies in Outdoor Intervention only confirmed and widened my enormous interests in the wilderness.

Since then, I have dreamed of adventures. I like to try, perform and be challenged. I love what the outdoors brings to my life, both personally and professionally. It allows me to surpass my abilities, get out of my comfort zone and feel fulfilled.

For me, outdoor expeditions are an opportunity to have an honest encounter with yourself and with others. I love the human side of it. I also want to seek more knowledge in the social field. I love to see people grow up to be better people.

Our beloved mechanic!

I'm passionate about the outdoors and rivers. Taking part in a canoe expedition is not only second nature to me, it's also a privileged place for exchange and learning.

My work in the outdoor field includes teaching in outdoor adventure programs, guiding water-based activities such as rafting, canoeing and kayaking, as well as skiing in the mountains and avalanche safety training.

I look forward to contributing my experience as a guide and in outdoor leadership. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello Adventurers! My name is Alex Bunge. My passion is to share what I love, and I love being outdoors. I have been instructing, guiding and teaching in wilderness settings across Canada, from Baffin Island to the Nahanni River, as well as in the mountains of New Zealand, for over 20 years. Whitewater canoeing, rafting, dog sledding, sea kayaking and trekking are some of the modes of transport that I have used in my work – but the real journey has always been within every individual. I started this career working and learning with adjudicated youth, indigenous youth and women survivors of violence. Since then, I have used the skills that they taught me to work with many populations of all ages.

As a wilderness instructor, I strive to provide a safe, fun and exciting space for you to explore, discover and become who you want to be. When I’m not out adventuring on my x-country skis, whitewater canoe or bicycle, I am learning from the students I teach in a CEGEP College in Gatineau, Quebec. I can't wait to share in this journey of discovery with you.

For me, being out in nature is a way of learning and refocusing on what matters the most to you. It gives you a chance to be vulnerable, to be yourself, and take the time to live in the present moment with the people around you. Coming from the Technique in Adventure Tourism (Gaspé) and the Bachelor in Outdoor Leadership and Management (UQAC), I am now in a Masters in Education with particular interest in education through nature and adventure in the training program of the Quebec school. My experience in the field mainly consists of being an instructor for Outward Bound Canada and NOLS. I worked as a risk management consultant and am currently involved with Au Grand Air which focuses on nature-based education for children.

Camille is for us a pillar within the team. We have full confidence in her and are very grateful to be able to count on her organization, her contribution in risk management, and her field and educational skills.
