Fifty years later, as families look to Alberta summer camps to disconnect from the digital world and immerse themselves in the adventure and wonder of the wilderness, Camp Impeesa is still the place to come.

While still owned and operated by Scouts Canada, today Camp Impeesa’s kids summer camps are open to boys and girls, Scouts and non-Scouts ages eight to 17. What makes Impeesa special for these young campers is the chance to have fun and become backcountry adventurers through a full range of traditional and contemporary camp activities on both water and land. There’s canoeing and a lake trampoline, hikes to the summit of Table Mountain and a 40-foot rock climbing tower, tomahawk throwing and ziplining, and campfires and songs under the stars.
