Centre de Villégiature Jouvence

At Jouvence, family rhymes with vacation

Real family vacations are those when kids are laughing – from pure joy – and where parents breathe easier at finally having time together. When you add silliness, dancing and group games, it’s just magical!

Pioneers of the family vacation formula in Quebec, Jouvence knows how to combine warmth, safety and comfort to create vacations where you can set your own pace. Each person is free to choose from Jouvence’s wide variety of activities and recreational equipment to experience unforgettable moments in this renowned outdoor setting. From improvising a hockey game on the rink or challenging the family to a snowman making contest! One thing’s for sure, whatever your idea of a perfect day is, at Jouvence, you can make it happen.

All-inclusive formula in the peak season

Dedicated team

From one day to the next, a dedicated, enthusiastic team accompanies you throughout your stay. Our camp counselors, like big brothers and sisters, are devoted to your needs. They have designed a variety of family activities, even projects that may appear a tad crazy, as well as supervised periods of activities where they look after children ages 3 to 17. You only need to choose according to your desires and interests.

Unforgettable evenings

What can we say about our famous evenings where parents are prohibited? Monitors and young people leave “as a gang” for an unforgettable end to their day. What a party: dinner, games, music, movie and, depending on the children’s ages, the chance to sleep under the stars. Poor parents! During this time, they are invited to enjoy a gourmet dinner while being serenaded by musicians. By the end of the evening, some parents are even able to completely unwind.

As for our youngest guests, they too will have enjoyed a special evening during their vacation, affectionately cuddled by their daycare substitute mothers.

Drop-in daycare

And there’s more. A drop-in daycare service is provided daily for children under the age of three.* Additional fees apply.

Customized formula during low season

A place to be free

Jouvence is a place where families are able to follow their own rhythm and interests, and experience vacations that suit their styles. We’re all different – some people like quiet moments with their family, while others prefer something a little out of the ordinary.

Imagine being in a canoe with your child, just the two of you, in the quiet of nature, alone in the world or enjoying being close next to a campfire, laughing and snuggling. At Jouvence, this can be a reality. We can even accompany your child in the adventure if you wish. So many opportunities for pleasant times to enhance yours, as well as your family's wellbeing.

The Centre de Villégiature

As in villages in days gone by, guests visit one another, prepare the next’s day outing together, sing around the camp fire, and children introduce families to one another. Everyone feels at home. They’re surrounded by smiles, bursts of joy and twinkling eyes! Families can choose whichever formula best suits them: summer time with the family, school break, Christmas time with organized activities or activities on their own.
