Biographical history
The Calgary and District Branch of the Alberta Camping Association was also known as the Calgary and District Camping Association (C.D.C.A.). The objectives were: to further the interests and welfare of children, youths and adults through camping as an educative, character building and constructive recreational experience; to develop, maintain and recognize high standards in camping; to interpret and disseminate knowledge concerning camping in general and to study the wider aspects of the camping movement; and to carry of the business of the Association without pecuniary gain to its members. The Executive consisted of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Attendance declined in the late 1960s. By about the mid-1970s, the division of the province between north and south branches ended, and the operations of the Alberta Camping Association were undertaken at the provincial level.
