About Saga Day Camp

Saga Summer Camp is a week (or seven) filled with all the fun that you could ever dream of having. Come and experience a week filled with games, sports, skills, activities, stories and a team of staff who love to hang out with kids.

Saga Day Camp operates for seven weeks during the summer, and is run by Clarkson Community Church, which is a non-profit, charitable organization, that has been providing quality summer programming since 2005.

Campers will be involved in numerous activities including arts & crafts, music, active games, and a host of special events, including weekly swimming and weekly BBQs, that coordinate with our theme weeks.

Our hope for this summer is to run at full capacity, in-person for all seven weeks. Day Camp is for children who have finished senior kindergarten to grade 4. Youth Camp is for children who have finished grades 5 to 7.

What to bring & what to know

Saga Day Camp has all sorts of adventures happening every week of the summer. For that reason you can check back here each week to know if there is anything special you need to bring.

There are some things that you will need to bring every week, so make sure that when you arrive at camp you have your bagged peanut-and-nut-free lunch & snack, your hat & sunscreen, comfortable shoes to run around in, a water bottle and whatever else you need to have the most fun ever (minus any toys or technology from home). Make sure to check with camp staff about what day your child(ren) will need to bring supplies for swimming (change of clothes, swimsuit, towel, swim accessories).

Saga Day Camp runs from 10am to 3:45pm each day, and there is supervised drop-off/ pickup between 9:30 to 10am, and 3:15 to 3:45pm. Please drop off and pick up your children within these times.

Extended Care

For 2025, we are continuing extended care (hours to drop off/pick up outside of camp hours) for all campers, to accommodate adult work schedules. This is an additional cost to camp. Extended Care AM will run from 8am to 9:30am, and Extended Care PM will run from 3:45 to 5:30pm.
