It usually starts like this: an overstuffed backpack, hyper kids, a half-spilled water bottle… and that tiny moment of doubt—was this outdoor family adventure really a good idea? (Spoiler alert: it totally is.)

Because even with muddy shoes, five-minute snack breaks, and endless “I’m hungry” complaints, there’s real magic in watching your kids scramble up a hill, splash through a stream, or collect rocks like they’re hidden treasure.

To make the experience fun for everyone (yes, including you), a bit of prep goes a long way: comfy clothes, a few smart tricks, and fresh outdoor activity ideas that go beyond the usual.

Good news: you don’t need to spend a fortune to gear up. Our outdoor collection for the whole family combines technical features, comfort, and performance—at prices as gentle as a Quebec summer. For families who want more style and function for less, it’s the perfect match.

Here are our favourite tips—and our go-to activity picks—for turning summer outings into memories your family will want to relive, again and again.

5 Unexpected Outdoor Activities to Try with Your Family This Summer

Looking to break from routine? These outdoor ideas are all about nature, fun, and making lasting memories—all right here in Quebec and Ontario.

1. Paddle at Sunset on a Calm River

Where to go:

👉 Parc régional de la Rivière Gentilly, Quebec

👉 Algonquin Park, Ontario

Golden light, quiet waters, and the gentle rhythm of a paddle—sunset paddling is just about asrelaxing as a nap without interruption.

Pro tip: Layer up with moisture-wicking, quick-dry pieces from our kids and adults outdoor collection. Perfect for the splash-happy (or splash-prone).

2. Go on a Mini “Survival in the Woods” Adventure

Where to go:

👉 Parc régional du Poisson Blanc, Quebec

👉 Silent Lake Provincial Park, Ontario

Build a shelter, make a fire (in a designated fire ring, of course), and listen to the sounds of the forest. It’s like a survival show—but for real. Your kids will love it, and you might just rediscover your inner wild child.

Pro tip: Opt for lightweight long pants and durable, breathable shirts. Our technical outdoor line delivers high performance and comfort—at an unbeatable value.

3. Hike to a View That’ll Make You Say “Wow”

Where to go:

👉 Mont Ouareau, Quebec

👉 Dundas Peak, Ontario

You don’t need Everest. A short hike and a breathtaking view go a long way with young adventurers.

Trail tip: Leave early to beat the heat and the crowds. Don’t forget hiking shoes, sun hats, and a lightweight windbreaker. Every piece in our hiking collection is built to last—while staying budget-friendly.

4. Follow Butterflies in a Living Garden

Where to go:

👉 Jardin Daniel A. Séguin, Quebec

👉 Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory, Ontario

Gentle, colourful, and fascinating—it’s a peaceful, kid-friendly outing or a perfect reset between bigger adventures.

Style tip: Keep it comfy with soft cotton shorts, flowy dresses, or breezy tops. Our comfort essentials collection is built to move with you. Our comfort essentials bring together softness, durability, and sweet prices—perfect for all your summer adventures.

5. Discover a Hidden Beach

Where to go:

👉 Saint-Zotique Beach, Quebec

👉 Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario

👉 Val-Morin Municipal Beach, Quebec

Think soft sand, shallow water, games, and family picnics—no plane ticket required.
