The Volunteers Meetup is a reunion weekend filled with activities and reflections. It’ll take place during the weekend of September 28 to 30, 2018, at the outdoor sports camp Le P’tit Bonheur in the Laurentian Mountains.

Le P’tit Bonheur is one of Chantiers jeunesse’s long-standing partner. Their mission is to promote an active lifestyle and personal fulfillment among young people from all types of background. We’re happy to be back for a second time this year, but this time, it’ll be with a magnificent autumn decor.
