Calgary Fire Bucket Brigade Summer Camps

Bucket Brigade

Calgary Fire Summer Camps

Bucket Brigade is a four day camp sponsored by ATCO. It gives youth ages 14 to 18 a chance to learn about life as a firefighter. It also gives them a taste of our Fire Cadet program.

Campers will learn a variety of firefighter skills. In the camp they will learn how to:

  • wear and operate a self-contained breathing apparatus,
  • search a confined maze,
  • hook up a hydrant and handle a hose,
  • use a fire extinguisher*,
  • perform CPR*,
  • and much more!

*Campers will receive certification in CPR and fire extinguishers.
