A Men’s Shed (or Shed) is a community-based organization that provides a casual space for men to connect, socialize and work on projects together that can benefit their community. Shoulder to Shoulder - somewhere to go, something to do, someone to talk to. In other words, men come together to tinker, tell stories, and hang out for good fun and (often) good food!

Meetings are held Thursdays, 12:00 to 2:00pm at Camrose & District Centennial Museum's Old Timer's Hut - 4522-53 Street, Camrose. Coffee and snacks provided.

The name “Men’s Shed” comes from the idea of a backyard shed where you can go to make and mend. Men’s Sheds are like that, only you’re there together with others where friendships are built, knowledge is shared, and connections are made. Joining a Shed is easy, and they’re always happy to welcome new members — or as we like to call them, Shedders.
