Base de plein air Information
The outdoor base in the Laurentians
For over 75 years, the Base de plein air Jean-Jeune has been illuminating its surroundings and enchanting the hearts of young and old alike.
Located in Amherst, in the heart of the Laurentians, this haven of peace extends over 120 acres of forest, bordering the superb Lac Jean-Jeunes.
Our visitors enjoy a variety of camping and lodging experiences:
The seasons pass us by, but nature never ceases to reveal its most precious treasures, giving us a glimpse of all its riches.
Sitting aboard kayaks, enjoying the beach, climbing rocks or tracking animal tracks, every moment is an explosion of emotion.
This setting, so far removed from the urban rhythm, becomes an ideal canvas for reconnecting with others, discovering the legends of Ti-Jean and merging harmoniously with the natural environment.
Jean-Jeune, proud holder of certifications from the Association des Camps du Québec and Camping Québec, offers you an unforgettable experience. As a member of Tremplin Santé, our commitment to wellness and healthy living is unwavering.
Come and recharge your batteries in an exceptional setting where the magic of nature meets the joy of discovery.
