Plan your activity with us!
Each class has its own rhythm, each teacher its color! A bit of chatter will ensure the smooth running of the activity and everyone's satisfaction.
School workshops
The workshops are offered from September until the end of May. We cover the Charlevoix region as well as the greater Quebec City region.
In class, activities generally last for one period, with the possibility of covering more than one group at a time.
