Veronica and her friends Nikki, Stacey, and Marie-Eve planned a boat trip down the Saint-Maurice River. They packed their suitcases and took a boat onto the river after school. During their trip, they stopped on a small island to eat dinner and later set up tents to sleep. The next day, they saw a deer while boating and stopped to take a picture. Nikki later spotted a bear near their campsite, so they waited for it to leave before continuing their journey home.
