Ready to Discover Amazing Camps and Skills Courses?
We believe mountaineering (in all its forms) provides significant mental and physical health benefits to participants and connects them with their mountain environments so that they’ll help to protect them. For this reason the ACC runs outdoor camps and skills courses with the aim to grow and develop Canada’s mountaineering community, make it accessible to everyone, and to promote considerate, responsible, best practices amongst its members.
