ACLC-AB Camps
There are two camps maintained by the League for use by Cadets during the year.
Camp Howard is located in the Southern Zone, north of Cochrane near Rocky Mountain CTC in the Ghost River Wilderness Area.
The camp serves as a weekend retreat for any cadet or scout unit that wish to rent it and can accommodate about 50 persons.
DND Cadet Training Centers
Army Cadets in Alberta mainly attend Vernon CTC in British Columbia or Whitehorse CTC in the Yukon. Cadets earn the privilege of attending these summer camps as they progress through the home Corps "Star Level" training programs. Some of the courses have age and fitness requirements. The camps are normally 6 weeks long.
Paid Staff Cadet positions are also available for the senior cadets (16-18) who have qualified through their training and past attendance at camps. It is a rewarding position where their training in leadership and knowledge of skills is put to practical use in training younger cadets.
The Rocky Mountain CTC is replacing the Banff NACSTC for Wilderness Challenge and Pipes and Drums courses is located at Ghost River, AB.
