Ever want to set a challenge for yourself and meet it with some of your best friends?

Imagine climbing to the top of a mountain and looking out over a glacier carved valley or tearing down a trail on a mountain bike, getting soaked as you splash through a creek. Not to mention the possibility of exploring an abandoned mining town.

Check out our favourite cave 'Cleft' that is at the very top of a mountain.

Or, hang from a rope at our awesome rock climbing site.

We're about challenge and fun and adventure.

We're about hitting the trail with your friends and never looking back.

We're about that rush that comes from getting there at your speed on your adventure.

We're about making it happen for you and your group!

What to Expect

There are lots of variables to consider when planning your trip. 

Summers are usually very warm though it can get chilly at night and even during the day. Snow can last at higher elevations until mid-July and so it is always best to follow the Scout motto: Be Prepared!

Your Adventure with us will look something like this:

Your first day: You'll arrive, meet your Trail Scouter and prepare for the adventure you'll be leaving for on the next day.

On the trail: Hike high altitude meadows, amazing mountain ridges and scenic valleys between carrying all your vital supplies on your back, cook your meals using lightweight stoves and the latest in leave no trace techniques, visit the ancient sites of the Crowsnest Pass and bring back enough stories to last until next summer.

At the adventure sites: Climb massive cliffs, go underground in a cave so massive it's called Gargantua, go fly fishing in some of Canada's best rivers and streams or rip down the trails on mountain bikes - it's up to you!

After the adventure: Many in-camp options like a campfire, swimming, or even a ride on our famous zip-line!

You can start planning right away! When you register we'll send you a guidebook that will help you plan and prepare for the most awesome experience of your life. We'll show you how to prepare yourself for high altitude hiking and what to bring - don't worry about specialized gear - we provide all that for you.
