Camp Columbus hosts overnight youth camps in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, near Lower Waterton Lake. The venue is reached from the park entrance toward the townsite, taking the first left after the Red Rock Canyon Creek bridge and continuing past the horse-rental stables to the camp buildings. The Lethbridge registration mailing address is separate from the camp.
The official historical 2026 schedule lists boys’ sessions for ages 8–10 on July 5–10, ages 9–11 on July 12–17, and ages 12–14 on July 19–24. Girls’ sessions are ages 8–10 on July 26–31, ages 9–11 on August 2–7, ages 10–12 on August 9–14, and ages 12–14 on August 16–21. These are separate sessions, with exact ages varying by week. A 2027 season has not been confirmed here.
The program includes hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, outdoor sports, arts and crafts, campfires, and naturalist and environmental learning. Its approach emphasizes Christian spirit, environmental care and cooperation. Campers and counsellors sleep in dormitories with bunk beds, and camp meals are prepared by a cook.
The 2026 booklet gives Sunday check-in from 2–3 p.m. and Friday pickup from 5–6 p.m.; parents or guardians arrange transport. All weekly sessions at this venue are combined in one listing.
