Activities provided throughout the year

Mount Royal provides fertile ground for learning thanks to Les Amis de la montagne! Our school programs provide a hands-on learning experience in nature based on educational objectives specified by the Quebec Education Program.

As they explore the mountain with experienced educators, children discover its biodiversity, geology and history through adventure, exploration and games. Students learn about the environment and consumption, community life and citizenship, and health and well-being. Our programs have been designed so that themes can be explored in the classroom, awakening kids to the importance of acting responsibly to protect the environment and developing cross-curricular competencies.

We reserve the right to modify activities in accordance with current public health recommendations.
