Scout it out

What is Scout It Out?

If you live in a region other than Gaspésie and Magdalen Islands and are eligible to attend college next fall, this activity is for you. Scout it out aims to make you discover the Gaspé campus or the École des pêches et de l’aquaculture du Québec (ÉPAQ) in Grande-Rivière. This will allow you to validate your choice of program of study and CEGEP. 

  • Activity Schedule

    On November 16th, a bus chartered by the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles will leave from Montréal and make stops along the way to take you to Gaspé or Grande-Rivière.  

    On November 17th, you will have the opportunity to attend a class in the program of your choice and meet the faculty and student community. In addition to visiting the establishment, you will participate in an afternoon outdoor activity that will allow you to become familiar with the area.  

    On November 18th, it is the bus ride back to your region. 

    Depending on the program you wish to learn more about, you will either be at the Gaspé campus or at ÉPAQ. Here is the schedule for your stay:
