Meet Mike Quinlivan 🤝 a founding Voyageur and member of the 1973, 1974, and 1975 crews. Back then, there was just one crew each summer. No satellite phones. Just grit, camaraderie, and a station wagon hauling canoes across the Canadian border 🚗🛶 50 years later, the lessons from his expeditions still resonate. Mike has stories worth hearing ❤️🌲

"Expeditions North…Expeditions for Life"

It is the mission of Les Voyageurs to expand the horizons of young people as it challenges their physical, psychological, social and learning skills through an intense outdoor experience. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing a once in a lifetime experience to embark on a 28-day expedition into the remote Canadian wilderness. 

The center piece of our program, Expeditions North, provides young people with an extensive outdoor leadership program that includes an expedition of 28 days into remote regions of central and northern Manitoba and Ontario. Each crew consists of seven young people (tenth grade and above) and one or two experienced guides.
