Who: All Cadets in Green FTUs - Note - Sleeping bags are provided, you do not have to bring your own.
What: Cadets will spend the weekend learning how to build shelters, construct fires, learn map and compass, operate stoves and lanterns, and construct air signals, learn how to tie knots and lashings, how to collect drinking water using solar stills, how to put up and tear down tents, as well as constructing camp crafts all while in the field.
When: Drop Off cadets on Friday May 1, 2026, at 6:00 pm at CCBCC and pick up cadets on Sunday May 3, 2026, at 4:00 pm from CCBCC
Where: Fort Scott, Pelican Cove (20510 Airport Rd, Tofield, AB T0B 4J0)
Transportation: Provided via school buses to the FTX site.
Food: Provided by the Meal Kit Supply (MREs - Meals Ready to Eat). Dietary restriction questions can be found below:
Meal Kit Supply FAQ about our MRE meals.
Note: Cadets who are vegetarian who cannot eat garlic or onions - the only options for your cadets would include oatmeal and sides (buns) for example. The meals are pre-made rations that the military uses so we cannot make any special requests. Your cadet will have to bring their own food if they cannot eat garlic and onions as that is a seasoning used in all of the meals. We try to accommodate as best we can, but some restrictions we unfortunately cannot accommodate.
Sign Up Form Will be Available from Wednesday April 1 to Thursday April 16.
