Au camp Manitou, où on pratique des activités traditionnelles franco-métisses, les jeunes cousins Pam, Nico et Julie viennent passer du bon temps avec leur tante Viola et ses deux acolytes, Max et Tibo. Quand Viola reçoit un message mystérieux, elle envoie nos voyageurs en mission à bord du canot cocasse!

Dans cet univers extraordinaire où ils sont transportés un peu partout sur notre planète, les animaux et même les végétaux y sont doués de la parole! Tout est en place pour que les jeunes voyageurs vivent des aventures qui les obligent à travailler en équipe pour accomplir leur mission. 

Principalement ciblé aux enfants de 5 à 7 ans, Canot cocasse met un accent ludique et accessible sur les valeurs du service, de la collaboration, du respect du monde naturel et du respect de soi et des autres. On découvre la richesse de la culture des voyageurs et des Franco-Métis dans leurs chansons, leurs traditions et leur conscience écologique.

A funny, magical and multifaceted canoe takes 2 travelers and Camp Manitou campers on extraordinary adventures. Through their travels, our explorers will discover a thousand and one things about the universe and about themselves!

Aunt Viola is the heart and soul of Camp Manitou, the nurturing aunt of three children: Pam, Nico and Julie. A magician and healer, she carries in her all the wisdom of the Franco-Métis people. To help her in her tasks, she can count on the unwavering support of Max and Tibo, two voyageurs who accomplish all sorts of missions everywhere on the map, and also through time! And of course, our adventure would not be complete without the Canot cocasse – a simple canoe made of bark that turns into a magical canoe full of tools and tricks! Each episode takes kids to the Maritimes, the Plains, the great North, the boreal forest, British Columbia and even under the sea! In each adventure, Pam, Nico and Julie connect with their Franco-Métis roots and learn all kinds of cool stuff that touches not only their five senses, but also their emotions, and causes them to question, problem-solve and overcome various challenges.

The aim of the series is to introduce young people everywhere to the culture of francophones in Canada and to share with them the rich history of the Métis voyageurs and their traditions of joie de vivre, love of adventure and respect for others and nature. Finally, each episode will also include educational content in natural sciences.
