After an incredible summer of 2026, the Amis de la montagne day camp is now closed. A huge thank you to all the volunteers, the staff, and especially the campers. See you next year!
Summer 2027
NEW! This year, we are using a pool-based registration system to avoid limiting registration by age group. Rest assured: children will be grouped with others from their age group once the camp begins.
This program is intended for children aged 6 to 12 on their first day of camp.
At the Les Amis de la montagne day camp, children set out each day to discover Mount Royal and its many facets. Through outdoor activities adapted to their age and abilities, they explore ecosystems, biodiversity, and the mountain’s natural and cultural heritage. Campers learn to recognize the components of their environment—both living and non-living—and to understand how to care for them.
Days are structured around cooperative games, physical challenges, exploration periods, and forest missions that encourage teamwork, strategy, mutual support, and critical thinking. Children are invited to take part in decisions that shape their day, fostering autonomy, inclusion, and collaboration.
Some activities offer opportunities to contribute concretely to the protection of Mount Royal through simple, age-appropriate conservation actions. Depending on the group and abilities, excursions may be organized to different areas of the mountain to discover its full richness. A camp where fun, learning, and nature come together to create a meaningful and memorable experience in the heart of Mount Royal.

Important: When ordering a T-shirt, please associate it with your child’s first week of camp registration if you would like them to receive it on their first day. If the purchase is associated with a later week, the T-shirt will only be distributed at the start of that week. No exceptions will be made. T-shirts are distributed on Mondays. If the size does not fit, an exchange may be possible, subject to availability.

How does registration work this year?
We use a pool-based registration system to avoid limiting registration by age group. Rest assured: children will be grouped with others from their age group once the camp begins.
Can I register my child if they do not speak French fluently?
As the camp operates in French, children must have basic French skills in both comprehension and oral communication. This is essential to ensure clear communication of instructions, particularly those related to safety.
How can I make sure I receive all communications after registration?
To ensure you receive all post-registration communications, we recommend adding notifications@amilia.com to your contacts and regularly checking your spam folder.
What do children do during childcare hours?
During childcare hours (8 a.m. to 8.45 a.m. and 4.15 p.m. to 6 p.m.), campers are supervised in our welcome area and can play, read, draw, or participate in small activities led by the camp counselors.
What training do camp counsellors receive?
Counsellors complete a comprehensive three-week training program covering child safety, first aid (CPR), and the historical and natural heritage of Mount Royal. All team members are selected through a rigorous process, including reference and background checks.
Can my child be placed in the same group as a friend?
The pool-based registration system does not guarantee placement with a specific friend. However, we will do our best to accommodate such requests.
Is the camp suitable for children with special needs?
Mount Royal provides an exceptional playground for children, but some activities may present accessibility challenges. We are open to collaborating with families to explore possible accommodations. Please contact us at campdejour@lemontroyal.qc.ca to discuss your child’s needs.
Can I cancel my child's registration?
To view or cancel registrations, you must download the Amilia mobile app. For assistance, please consult How to use the Amilia mobile app.
To ensure all children can enjoy a week of camp on Mount Royal, a limited number of reduced-fee spaces are available for low-income families. Additional spaces may be added depending on overall registration levels.

We are seeking youth who will have completed Secondary III to V by the end of the 2025–2026 school year to join our team as volunteer assistant counsellors. This experience offers a valuable opportunity to get involved, learn, and develop skills in facilitation and teamwork.
