Program Locations:

 

Chinook Council has three unique camping properties, known collectively as the Bert Sheppard Scout Reserve: 

            • Camp Gardner (Bragg Creek)

            • Camp Apistotoke (Medicine Hat)

            • Camp Impeesa (Pincher Creek)

These three properties were a gift from the estate of the late Bert Sheppard. All three locations are accredited by the Alberta Camping Association (ACA) and meet or exceed all ACA standards. By being an ACA accredited camp we are following the highest safety and operational standars in Alberta and are striving to provide you with the safest location for your outdoor activities.

These three camp locations are available for rental to both Scouting groups and non-Scouting groups, provided they are not already being used for a scheduled camp program.
