Senior Class Adventure in Canada

Day 1

Your group will arrive in Toronto and meet a Joshua Expeditions guide at the airport then head over to your hotel. Your tour will begin with a bird’s eye view of the city from the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the world. Afterward, you will enjoy a short walking tour before rounding out the day with dinner and devotions.

Day 2

You will spend the morning in Chinatown today, the second largest one in North America! You will have lunch on your own and then head out with the group for a tour of Casa Loma, Canada's most famous castle. In the afternoon, you will visit the Victorian Distillery District where you will have time to admire the art, culture and architecture of this pedestrian-only village, then, if time permits, you will also enter the Art Gallery of Ontario which houses more than 40,000 works. The group will stop for dinner before heading back to the hotel for devotions.

Day 3

Today your group will take a day trip to Niagara Falls. As you soak in the beauty of the Niagara Peninsula, be ready to see this amazing creation up close as you take a boat ride right up to Horseshoe Falls! At the end of the day, the group will return to Toronto to prepare for the next day's departure to Montréal. (Your group might want to add an optional sporting event to your Toronto tour, such as Maple Leafs hockey or Blue Jays baseball.)

Day 4

The group will journey to Montréal this morning, where you will feel like you are touring Europe as you walk through Old Montreal on the Place Jacques-Cartier and Place de la Dauversière. You will also visit the Basilique Notre-Dame of Montréal. After admiring the city’s street artists and entertainment, it will be time to stop for dinner before heading back to the hotel for the evening.

Day 5

In the morning, your group will visit Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, one of Canada’s oldest art museums, then later take a stroll down the Golden Square Mile, observing the Medieval, Renaissance, Greek, Roman, Gothic and Germanic architecture. Afterward, you will go underground into the miles and miles of pedestrian walkways below the city to enjoy some shopping and stop for lunch. The group will head back to the hotel in the afternoon to load up the private coach that will take you to Québec City! This day will close with dinner and devotions at your hotel.

Day 6

Following breakfast, the group will make stops at the Citadel, Château Frontenac, and Place-Royale. This area will give you an opportunity to practice your French! Later in the evening, you will have some free time to explore the city before heading out to dinner. You might even decide to go out in the evening to catch a movie in French before the day closes with devotions at the hotel. (Optional activities like a movie are not included in the price of the trip.)

Day 7

Today you will enjoy God's creation through one of two activities: in spring, summer or fall, your group can take a boat excursion on Saint Lawrence River, and in the winter you can enjoy a ski excursion. You will also see the Parc des Champs-de-Bataille and the Plains of Abraham, which was Canada’s birthplace. There are several group activities to choose from, and these can be tailored to fit your group. Your day will close with devotions at the hotel.

Day 8

On this final morning in Canada, you will have opportunity to take a stroll along the Old City Boardwalk and grab a final souvenir before heading back to the hotel to prepare for departure out of Québec City.
