Camp Alpine is a fantastic Nationally accredited summer camp for Scouts, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps at the Kandersteg International Scout Center, Switzerland. Camp Alpine takes advantage of this amazing location and offers a program focusing on the outdoors, nature, and exploration, all while implementing the Patrol Method. Being based at the World Center of Scouting, Scouts also get the opportunity to meet others from around the world, have a great experience, build amazing memories and international friendships.

Program

Camp Alpine offers an Unparalleled Scouting experience for every level of scout in three distinct programs 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 multiple requirements while working toward 1st Class, Firem’n and Totin’ Chit, and even earn a merit badge, but most importantly have fun at every turn.

Ascent

Geared for the next step in a Scout’s career, the Ascent program is merit badge focused, with large blocks for better interaction. This year we bring you 2 new blocks. The "Forum" will offer new merit badges like Theater, Journalism, and Public Speaking. While our new "STEM" block will have Energy, Chemistry, Automotive Maintenance, and more. We also have new merit badges like Sculpting, Exploration, and a few others. Alpine continues to offer 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 and Adult Scouters. We are looking to offer an experience you'll remember for life. WARNING: may include glacial hikes, mountain peak summits, riding rapid waters, or climbing 100 foot cliff sides.
