Summer fun often means camping, hiking, biking, and many other outdoor adventures, which also means it is important to be bear smart. Cleaning up garbage, storing food properly and knowing how to identify bears and their presence is just a few things you should know.

Check out the Summer and Camping Guides Here! Remember: camping is one of the most popular summer activities in Alberta! Make sure everyone has a fun experience with these basic etiquette guidelines:

• Respect the environment and nature: Do not leave trash behind, or damage natural habitats. Leave no trace!
• Respect your neighbours: avoid loud, excessive or offensive noise, talking, or music at anytime of the day.
• Be courteous to campground staff and caretakers and follow posted campground rules.
• Practice safe burning with your campfire and never leave it unattended. Remember: when you put it out; soak it, stir it and soak it again!
• Keep pets on a leash, do not let them wander. It is not safe for them or others.
• Respect all posted speed limits. Be mindful and cautious of pedestrians, children and other obstructions while driving.
• Be mindful of potential wildlife in the area (bears, cougars, etc.)
• Remember, some Provincial parks are open, but are 'user maintained'.
