The Calgary Fire Department values our communities’ young people and recognizes that today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. Many of the diverse youth throughout our communities will be the future, the faces and the leaders of the Calgary Fire Department in years to come, and the Bucket Brigade is an excellent introduction to the career of firefighting.

The Bucket Brigade is a four-day camp which gives youth, ages 14 to 18, a chance to learn about life as a firefighter. It also gives them a glimpse of our 18-month Fire Cadet program that is operated in partnership with many local school districts, including the CBE and CCSD, which can also earn Cadets valuable high-school credits.

Campers will learn a variety of firefighter skills. 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,
• and much more!
  

To receive a full refund, you must cancel no later than 14 days before the start date of the camp.

Exception: Consideration will be given for cancellation or withdrawal due to medical reasons only. Cancellations for medical reasons from 2 days prior to the program start date to 13 days prior, with a note from a medical doctor, will receive a 75 percent refund.

NOTE: A doctor’s note must be provided before consideration will be given.
