Enjoy cooking meals on a fire and sleep under the stars in the comfort of your tent. The world is your canvas, here is your opportunity to pick up your paint brush.
Our Guest:
Florence Rivest
An illustrator and artist by profession, Florence is a full-time lover of the great outdoors. Her work is inspired by the territory and natural spaces she visits to anchor herself. Since 2020, she has been leading outdoor art workshops and expeditions where the undisguised objective is the pleasure of taking time.
What is Erre?
Erre is the collaboration of two passions: art and the outdoors. Whether it’s a workshop in urban parks, a nature expedition or a weekend in a cabin, these are precious moments to slow down and catch your (creative) breath.
We recognize that both the worlds of art and the outdoors can be difficult to access for some. With this in mind, we aim to welcome all who are willing, and make a space where they will be encouraged to have fun, without the pressure to perform. The workshops cover different mediums and subjects, but the objective remains the same: to have fun creating, and to appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful province like Quebec.

Be part of the team
We use canoe tripping as a vessel to get out into the wilderness and take time to challenge ourselves, reflect and create meaningful connections. We want these trips to be a safe place for you to push your limits, and learn some valuable outdoor skills.
These are instructional expeditions which means we would love your participation and enthusiasm in joining us with the daily tasks of being on trip.
Our goal is that you return home with a sense of accomplishment and many new skills that allow you to feel comfortable, responsible and empowered by the beautiful outdoors.
