Aventures Nord‑Bec is an outdoor adventure and accommodation operator based in Stoneham‑et‑Tewkesbury, Québec. The company organizes a wide range of nature experiences including dog sledding, family fishing, ice fishing, campsite stays, and unique lodging options such as treehouses and chalets. Many activities take place near local landmarks: guided and family fishing is offered at Pourvoirie du Lac‑Beauport, campsites sit close to Parc National Jacques‑Cartier and the Rivière Cachée, and dog sledding tours run about 30 minutes from Old Québec. The dogsledding experience includes a one‑hour ride led by a professional musher and opportunities to meet affectionate huskies; the site also features a suspension bridge viewpoint.
Ice fishing and shore fishing events emphasize peaceful, low‑noise settings suitable for all ages; ice fishing has limited availability and reservations are recommended. Accommodation options include rustic camping, treehouses, and cozy chalets, each equipped with a fire pit and picnic table for outdoor meals. Aventures Nord‑Bec also runs seasonal and family‑focused programs such as a husky puppy village where visitors can interact with puppies, fat bike rentals, outdoor laser tag, and themed packages. The operator lists multiple guided programs on weekends and provides on‑site fish cleaning and cooking options. Safety and local guidance are central to their offerings, with professional staff leading dogsled teams and supervised activities for families. Visitors can expect nature‑centered experiences focused on comfort, accessibility, and memorable outdoor moments. Booking information and seasonal schedules are published on The Adventure Collective listings and the operator's local reservation channels for up‑to‑date availability and pricing.
