The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award was created to encourage personal development, allowing young people to learn from new experiences to discover hidden capabilities and talents. Our canoe, hiking and winter expeditions, which qualify for The Duke of Edinburgh's Adventurous Journey, are designed to challenge young people to develop leadership, self-care, and interpersonal skills.
Outdoor education includes experiencing wilderness but at it's heart it's really about making good people. Canoe trips, winter expeditions and camp based programs offer students opportunities to connect with each other on a deep, human level on our programs.
Outdoor education means a lot of things: leadership, teamwork, communication, challenge, and resilience to name just a few. Voyageur Quest creates programs that promote these skills, fostering personal development through fun outdoor adventure in Algonquin Park. Each program is tailored to fit the school and students' needs.
All Outdoor Education programs are tailored to fit. Please see a few trip examples below for ideas.

The first thing I think of when I think of VQ is the community, and this summer we had a pretty awesome one. I spent the summer months between guiding in the park and guiding at the log cabin and
EARLY MORNING. Algonquin Provincial Park. Crisp air hits your face and blasts the sleep out of your system. The insides of your gloves become damp and you struggle to hold the bar linking you to a sled and 24 sprinting feet. Your muscles stiffen and brace for the bend up ahead … and you tumble as the sled lurches into the turn. … Read More
