Labrador Outdoors prides itself in running some of the finest
hunting and fishing camps in Labrador and Quebec.
Our northern
Labrador camps at Umiakovik Lake offers superb Arctic char
angling in a scenic setting unparalleled in eastern Canada.
And our migratory hunts in western Labrador and eastern
Quebec have enjoyed a 100% success rate since we went completely
mobile a few years ago. No matter which camp you hunt or
fish, quality is the name of the game, and our promise to
you is to provide a world class experience you will long
remember.
Being hunters
and fishermen ourselves and having spent many hours in the
bush, we realize a hearty meal before and after your day
afield is
welcome. For many, it is a much anticipated part of the
overall experience. Labrador Outdoors hire professional
cooks for its camps at Umiakovik, and migratory camps. Their
sole duty is to prepare quality food and plenty of it. All
our cooks are experienced at working in the bush, at preparing
meals in a fishing or hunting camp situation, and testimony
for our guests over the years suggests they do an excellent
job. At most camps, home made breads, biscuits and desserts
are a specialty, and there is nothing quite like returning
from a day's hunt or fishing and having the smell of freshly
bakes bread filling the air!
Although the
menu might vary depending upon which camp you visit, breakfast
generally consists of eggs, bacon, toast and juice, or french
toast or pancakes. Hot and cold cereal are also often available.
Many visitors hunt or fish through the day, and a "shore
lunch" is generally prepared. This consists of a sandwich(s),
cookies, fruit and other snacks and tea.
The evening
meals is the big meal of the day. At most camps the typical
meal consists of meat (beef, chicken, ham, etc.), potatoes,
vegetables, salad, homemade bread or biscuits and dessert.
Pasta is also served along with soups and stews. There is
always plenty of it, so eat to your heart's content.
The routine
at all our camps is rather informal. Upon arrival, the camp
manager generally takes a consensus at which hours everyone
would like to eat, and that will be your schedule for the
week. Normally, however, breakfast is served between 7a.m.
and 8a.m. and the evening meal between 5p.m. and 6p.m. Again,
these hours are flexible, depending upon the preference
in camp.
We would also
like to stress, our camps are your home away from home.
Come and go as you please, and set your own routine. Some
fishermen at Umiakovik often return to camp early to enjoy
a drink or relax before supper, and then fish again after
eating. Some fish right through supper and eat a snack or
light supper before retiring. Whatever your heart's desire,
we will accommodate it whenever possible.
Finally, if
you have any special dietary needs, please let us know before
your arrival. We will do our best to suit your needs and
wishes. Also, if you wish wine, beer or soda in camp, again
let us know. We will have it waiting for you in camp, or
arrangements will be made for you to pick it up in Goose
Bay or Schefferville before departing for camps. These beverages
are an extra cost and not included in your package price.
If you have
any questions do not hesitate to call us at 1-888-244-7824.
