Many schools organize outings of varying lengths to give their students the opportunity to get to know themselves, develop social and emotional skills and discover their region. These activities are also sometimes integrated into credit courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the spring of 2025, the C\u00e9gep de la Gasp\u00e9sie et des \u00celes organised a snowshoe hike<\/a> in Perc\u00e9, bringing together nearly 80 people from three programmes: the Attestation of College Studies (AEC) Integration into the Nursing Profession in Quebec <\/em>and their families, the AEC Wind Turbine Maintenance <\/em>as well as students from the AEC Adventure Guide<\/em>, who supervised the group. The first activity of this type was organised in the autumn of 2024 with the previous cohort of nurses in Gasp\u00e9sie Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n En ao\u00fbt 2024, a eu lieu la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition du camp d\u2019int\u00e9gration pour les nouveaux \u00e9tudiant.es des Premi\u00e8res Peuples <\/a>au C\u00e9gep de Sept-\u00celes. Il s\u2019agissait trois jours d\u2019activit\u00e9s et de partage entre les \u00e9tudiant.es innu.es, incluant des activit\u00e9s d\u2019h\u00e9bertisme, de feux de camp, de la musique et des moments d\u2019\u00e9changes. Cela leur a permis de cr\u00e9er des liens entre eux, de partager leur culture et de rencontrer des personnes cl\u00e9s pour faciliter leur transition du secondaire au coll\u00e9gial. \u00c0 ce s\u00e9jour, s\u2019est ajout\u00e9e une soir\u00e9e de partage avec les personnes \u00e9tudiantes internationales qui \u00e9taient r\u00e9cemment arriv\u00e9es \u00e0 Sept-\u00celes. Elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accueillies avec fiert\u00e9 par les \u00e9tudiant.es innu.es, dans leurs habits traditionnels et au son de leur musique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In autumn 2024, nine students from Coll\u00e8ge Montmorency with functional limitations enjoyed a weekend of canoe camping<\/a> at Mont-Tremblant National Park as part of an adapted physical education course. To meet their specific needs, a team from the Learning Support Service accompanied them. Thanks to customised adjustments, such as adapting the canoe seats, these individuals not only enjoyed an enriching experience in the great outdoors, but also pushed their limits and developed social-emotional skills that will serve them well beyond this experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For sixteen years, Coll\u00e8ge Ahuntsic has been organising Rencontres autochtones<\/a><\/em> trips, an immersive experience that allows students to connect with the Atikamekw Nation. Participants discover the culture, knowledge and forest life practices of the Atikamekw, while reflecting on the historical and contemporary realities of Indigenous peoples. The entire experience is conducted in a spirit of listening, humility and mutual respect. The project, co-developed with Indigenous partners, is part of Coll\u00e8ge Ahuntsic’s Indigenous inclusion and decolonisation initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIntegration camp for new First Nations students at C\u00e9gep de Sept-\u00celes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
