Camp Columbus v2 Camp Columbus – Waterton National Park

Camp Columbus – Waterton National Park

Overnight camps (5 nights/6days) for boys & girls aged 8 -14 yrs.

What we are About: The camp program is one that emphasizes Christian Spirit, concern for our fragile environment and cooperation with others, while still allowing the campers to maintain their own special and unique individuality. Camp Columbus Youth Camp is open to all children aged 8-14. Camps are five days in length. Camp activities include hiking, canoeing, horseback rides, sports, camp fires, interpretive center visits and boat rides down Waterton Lake to the US border!

Our camps are limited to 48 campers so that we are able to offer a high counsellor to camper ratio, allowing for a flexible innovative and comprehensive camp program. Campers are placed in groups of 12 with 2 counsellors assigned to each group. The Pre-Camp Planning, meetings, counsellor training, orientations, and above all, the quality and dedication of our staff is one to admire.
