The company offers nature lovers guided tours, workshops, SUP yoga sessions and a variety of specific, one-off events during the summer season from mid-June to mid-September. Penny Lebrun aims to become a long-term tourist reference in the region. The natural attractions of the Saint-Donat region - lakes, rivers and mountains - make the municipality a cradle of authenticity for the company.
THE ENTREPRENEUR BEHIND THE PROJECT

After a trip around the world, Penny Lebrun decided on a new way of life: living simply. Settled close to nature and prioritizing outdoor activities over more urban ones, far from overconsumption and close to lakes and mountains, the young entrepreneur enjoys a healthy lifestyle in line with her values.
She holds a Bachelor's degree in multidisciplinary design and a post-graduate diploma specializing in events, and has a wide range of experience in outdoor tourism and customer service, event coordination and experiential marketing. Penny Lebrun holds a Paddle Canada-certified calm water instructor's license, as well as a 200-hour yoga teacher training program and business start-up training. In addition to the training she has taken, she has also been awarded Qualité-Sécurité accreditation by Aventure Écotourisme Québec, allowing her to hold events in the parks of the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (SÉPAQ).
PRACTICE WITH TIME'SUP, BUT WHERE?
Two breathtaking locations are proposed for the activities. Firstly, you can practice with the company from the municipal wharf (Parc des Pionniers), giving you direct access to majestic Lac Archambault. Also, thanks to a partnership with Parc National du Mont-Tremblant (SÉPAQ), the company also has access to the beach of Lac Provost, in the Pimbina sector of the Park, just ten kilometers from the village of Saint-Donat. Two magical places surrounded by lush vegetation to practice this water sport.
The ultimate goal of Time'sup ? Quite simply, to get people moving in the great outdoors.
LANTERN OUTINGS

Among all the activities on offer, discover the unmissable lantern outing. It's offered every Saturday evening in summer, during a 2-hour guided hike that begins before sunset and ends under the lanterns at dusk.
