Children with disabilities are like butterflies with a broken wing. They are just as beautiful as all others, but they need help to spread their wings.

Caravan Papillon

Mobile camp for disabled children

The project of a mobile camp emanates from the Quebec Society for Disabled Children’s determination to offer services to vulnerable children in remote areas. This project is in line with our objective to offer to the families of children with disabilities direct and pertinent support, adapted to their needs and on a human dimension.

Every summer, Camp Papillon takes to the road. Transformed into Caravan Papillon, it carries in its luggage the magic which, for close to 70 years, has set it apart from all other specialized camps in North America. It offers this magic to some fifty children and youngsters who, due to the long distance that separates them from the Lanaudière region, cannot benefit from all that Camp Papillon can offer in terms of challenges, activities, and joyful laughter.

An unforgettable stay

Physical fitness trail, swimming, basketball, volleyball, mini-farm, archery, campfires, nothing is excluded at Caravan Papillon! Not to mention natural sciences activities: hiking, nature interpretation, camping, etc. You will be impressed!

The l0-day stay includes meals, snacks, lodging, activities, and animation.

A team of seasoned counsellors having received exhaustive training unique in Quebec will ensure the well-being and comfort of the campers and will move heaven and earth to make their stay unforgettable. A medical clinic is fully equipped to meet daily needs and emergency situations. A nursing assistant will welcome you 24 hours a day.
