Where your summer
adventure begins

At Nominingue, we maintain a 1:3 staff-to-camper ratio to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your son, with experienced counselors supervising groups of young campers and all senior staff undergoing police background checks. Learn more about Supervision, Healthcare & Safety.

Every summer, first-time campers arrive at Nominingue either alone or with friends. Both approaches have their merits, with solo arrivals potentially making new friends more easily, while those with friends may take longer to step out of their comfort zone. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your goals for your son's camp experience and personal preferences. Also read How to prepare your son for camp.

Camp Nominingue operates in English and a majority of our campers are anglophone. About 70% of our campers come from Quebec, 20% from Ontario and another 10% from outside the country. 20% of our parents say that their son speaks little or no English and choose Nominingue as an opportunity for English immersion.

Many francophones choose Nominingue to give their son the opportunity to practise his English. Our counsellors encourage non-English speaking campers to practise their English as much as possible. In setting up the tent groups, we try to ensure that all non-anglophone campers have English-speaking friends in the tent. Learn more on Language Opportunities at Nominingue.

Our well-equipped infirmary is open 24-hours-day and is staffed by two caring first-aiders. Usually, there is a doctor on site throughout the summer while there are campers at camp. Clinics are held three times a day for medication dispensing. A general hospital with an emergency room is located a 15 minutes drive away.

Our office is located at the city (winter) address until the beginning of June, at which time we move to the Nominingue address for the summer. Our addresses and telephone numbers are located on our contact page.
