A company aimed at the popularization of science since 2000
Since 2000, we are a company dedicated to sharing our passion for science with young people in the greater Montreal and British Columbia regions. Our golden rule is to give young people a taste for learning more about this field.
We have constantly innovated in recent years with the development of more than 50 workshops and 40 projects.
We offer fascinating workshops in two parts – popular science and training in facilitation – where respect and participation of all are valued by clear, friendly and professional supervision.
In addition to being stimulating, our activities meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sport with regard to the science and technology component in Quebec and the Ministry of Education and Early Childhood of British Columbia.
Profaqua also offers day camps in Montreal in partnership with the Sumer camp Excursion Urbaine. At first, the focus of our camps was on science programs, but we have expanded to cover a variety of specialties like cooking, art, sports and much more!
No matter the subject, Profaqua always offers fun and educational camps even in Vancouver!

Aqua
Did you know that water is our good friend?
Our water is a precious resource. Only 2.5% of all water on the planet is freshwater, the rest being salt water. Over 70% of this freshwater is found in Arctic and Antarctic icecaps, and almost all the rest is found beneath the earth’s surface, most of the time inaccessible or yet, is contained as moisture within the soil. Our water is present in three states: liquid, solid and gas.
Hebe
Hebe, the dedicated Director of Camps with a passion for creating memorable experiences. Hebe’s journey working in camps began at just 15 years old, and her commitment led her to become a Camp Coordinator by the age of 19. With a decade of expertise under her belt, she’s a true camp aficionado. What fuels her enthusiasm? Building lasting bonds with families and witnessing the growth of campers year after year. Hebe’s unwavering dedication and genuine love for her work make her an invaluable asset to Profaqua’s science camp, ensuring every summer is filled with adventure, learning, and cherished memories.
