For more than 50 years, Camp Impeesa has been giving kids a chance to connect with nature, challenge themselves and make friends in its idyllic location off the shores of Beaver Mines Lake and looking up to Table Mountain.
Scouts Canada acquired what became Camp Impeesa, south of Crowsnest Pass and Pincher Creek, in 1967 as part of a centennial project. With its alpine and montane forest, rare plants and a protection corridor home to moose, grizzlies and cougars, Scouts leaders saw how its unique trails, waters, wildlife and plants would serve as the perfect backdrop for a true wilderness adventure experience. They called the camp ‘impeesa’—the wolf that never sleeps.
