Beyond the Sport

Trips around Canada

You’re coming to Canada – so it stands to reason that you want to see Canada!

Whether you want to get to the heart of the French-Canadian culture in Quebec City; visit the most cosmopolitan city in the province of Quebec – Montreal; get a taste of life in the cultural centre of English Canada – Ottawa; or get far from civilization on our outdoor experience trip – YOU CAN DO IT ALL. Even your activities are included – tickets for the Hockey, tubing at night and much more… read on to find out about each trip!

Montreal

There’s plenty of time to check out downtown with its Underground City providing 22km’s of heaven for the shoppers amongst you and attractions such as the historic port or Mont Royal if you’re feeling cultural. After midnight, the downtown core is unsurpassed for its lively nightlife – up-beat clubs, jazz bars, blues cafes and brasseries. A truly Canadian experience in a vibrant cosmopolitan city!

Quebec City

Experiencing the biggest winter carnival of North America is a uniquely French Quebec experience. We stay in the beautiful old quarter, surrounded by the magic of ice castles, ice sculptures and parades and spice things up a bit by taking you to North America’s biggest winter adventure park for a tubing experience you will never forget!

The spirit of the Winter Carnival is the Quebec symbol of winter sports, the “Bonhomme de Neige”. This lively character welcomes you to the city where you will be able to participate in many winter sports such as tobogganing, dogsledding or ice-skating. In the evening, we take you out to the city’s best night club where you can show the locals how to dance!


Ottawa

A trip to Canada’s capital you won’t forget… what makes this trip so unforgettable? Ice skating on the Rideau Canal (a world-heritage site) the longest skating rink in the world – is pretty unique but the thing that most come back fixated on is their experience of the world’s most unique youth hostel – the Jail!

When you’re not behind bars, you can visit the Parliament buildings, art galleries and museums that reflect the varied nature of Canada’s history.

Outdoor Experience

When you’re riding / skiing on snow every week, you can’t leave Canada without building your very own Igloo! This weekend adventure will have you extreme snowshoeing and cross-country skiing through the woods, enjoying lunch out on the trail. An experience like no other, you’ll warm up by the fire then star gaze the night away before crawling into your cozy igloo!

Hockey Match

You can’t come to Canada without experiencing a live (ice) Hockey game – whether you’re on our Intensive Training or Ultimate Experience course, we take you to a thrilling hockey match.
