Camp Fortune is a commercial alpine ski centre. It is located in the Gatineau Hills north of Gatineau, Quebec, approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Ottawa, Ontario.

Ryan Tower, a 228.9 metre (750 feet) tall guyed mast that was built in 1968, is located at the summit of the Clifford slope.

Camp Fortune is composed of 5 slopes: Pineault, Clifford, Alexander, Meech, and Skyline. The first three slopes are jointly referred to as The Valley and are considered to host the easier slopes of the ski centre.

During the summer, Camp Fortune is open for mountain biking and its new outdoor Aerial Experience.

A few years ago, the tenants of Camp Fortune acquired Mont Ste. Marie, another ski centre 'nearby'. Because of this purchase, 'combo' season passes can be purchased that are valid at both ski centres.

Camp Fortune Ski Club [3] operates at the hill and provides competitive and 'house' ski racing programmes for children and young adults aged 5 to 18 based on the Nancy Greene [4] and Snowstars [5] approaches.
