Camp Alpine Program

Camp Alpine offers an Unparalleled Scouting Adventure for every level of scout in three distinct program choices!

Base Camp

Our Base Camp program is the perfect first step for your new Scouts and a great start to their summer camp experience. Scouts learn all their essential Scout skills, completing 72 requirements while working toward 1st Class, Firem’n Chit and Totin’ Chip, and even earn a merit badge, but most importantly have fun at every turn.

Ascent

Geared for the next step in a Scout’s journey, the Ascent program is merit badge focused, with large blocks for better interaction.  Alpine continues to offer numerous academic and handicraft skills in the “Crafts & Culture” area; scoutcraft and skills in “Outdoor Skills”, exploring nature in “Ecology”, perfecting your aim in “Shooting Sports”, and releasing your inner fish with “Aquatics.” 

Summit

Our specialty adventure program filled with outdoor adventure for older, more experienced Scouts. We are looking to offer an experience you’ll remember for life. WARNING:  The Summit Program may include glacial hikes, mountain peak summits, riding rapid waters, or climbing 100 foot cliffs.

KISC

Camp Alpine is hosted at the Kandersteg International Scouting Centre (KISC), the dream location of the Founder of Scouting, Sir Robert Baden-Powell. KISC hosts Scouts from all over the world as a “permanent mini-jamboree” and is the ideal location for our Scouts to have a camping experience in the Swiss Alps.  All Camp Alpine participants tent in KISC campsites and cook their own meals with groceries and supplies provided through the Camp Alpine Commissary.

Campership Application

Camperships are available for TAC Scouts with a financial need and desire to attend a TAC Camping program. The application form is available here.  To be considered for one of the summer camps the online application must be submitted by 30 March 2025.
