Base camp is at Beaverfoot Lodge campground in the Beaverfoot Valley surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Our location is between Field and Golden, British Columbia and is bordered by Yoho National Park to the north and Kootenay National Park to the south. Our activities will take us to Yoho, Banff, Kootenay, Glacier and Jasper National Parks with their snowcapped mountains, vast glaciers and ice fields, turquoise lakes, thundering waterfalls, wildflowers, hot springs and fossil beds.

 

August Camp offers several hikes each day for all levels of ability. Car camping and backpacking excursions, river rafting, canoeing and kayaking are also planned. Delicious cooked meals and trail lunches are provided; great camaraderie and nightly campfires make for a memorable experience. Round trip transportation  between Camp and the Calgary International Airport (YYC) will be provided.

Applications are accepted beginning January 1, 2010 in the order in which they are received.
Early registration is advised since some camp sessions were completely subscribed in 2009.

Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the 2010 August Camp are completely filled at present.

If your registration has been SENT but NOT ACCEPTED due to unavailability of space, the Registrar will contact you by email. Wait lists for weeks 1,2,3 and 4 are being compiled.
