Boucaniers

A wide selection of exciting adventures… yours for the challenge…!

Camp Claret offers teenage boys the opportunity of experiencing an intense team life where friendship and adventure are the key words. Thrilling activities and new challenges will be occasions to develop responsibility and increase self-confidence.

A FULFILLED AND HAPPY BOUCANIER…A fulfilled and happy boucanier is a “man of character” who has acquired personal autonomy, who has taken charge of his life, who is able to be responsible for himself and others, and who has set himself an ideal of life to achieve.


Living according to these principles is a great challenge and a high life ideal, but each teenager is guided and encouraged by two or three monitors who will help him thrive in an environment where there is respect for others, joy and mutual support.

The wisdom, strength and character that are gained!

Two nature outdoor trips : Highlight of their experience at Camp Claret

Backpacking trips are designed to teach outdoor skills and foster self-achievement through team-building. It is our goal to provide an experience in which each participant may develop mentally and physically.  We wish to empower our teenage boys with a healthy dose of self-confidence.

Moreover, the 2-day canoe-camping Rally on Lake Elgin allows campers to practice their new learnt skills in orienteering, and succeed the challenge of crossing the lake through teamwork and will power.
