 About Saga Day Camps

Saga Day Camp is a week 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.

Summer 2022 kicks off July 4th and runs until August 18th with 7 weeks of full day sessions for children completed Senior Kindergarten – grade 7.

Campers are involved in numerous activities including arts & crafts, music, active games, and a host of special events that coordinate with our theme weeks.
We are planning towards separate cohorts for each grade in order to ensure  a safe camp experience for our Campers.  The number of campers in each cohort will be in keeping with Provincial public health regulations and may vary throughout the Summer.
We are closely following Covid-19 recommendations for Public Health, as well as the Ontario Camping guidelines, and are prepared to adapt to updated regulations.

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 face mask, hand sanitizer, bagged 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.

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

Unfortunately, at the moment we are not able to offer extended care because of the current Public health regulations.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Will it be safe?

Yes! We are following Public Health regulations and recommendations very closely to ensure that Camp is a safe environment for our Campers.  We’re planning on operating both indoor and outdoor, and ensuring proper use of PPE and cohorting to keep people safe.

What should I do if someone in our house is sick?

If you, your child, or anyone in your household is exhibiting symptoms for Covid-19 or have been in close contact recently with someone who has Covid-19, please follow current public health guidelines.

What if some in my child’s cohort has covid-19?

We will be following the same procedures as our public schools.  Our Admin Team will be in charge of Contact Tracing and if someone is found to have been at camp with positive Covid-19 we will be following public health guidelines around contacting families.

Am I eligible for the L5J postal code discount?

We love all of our families, but want to provide extra support for families in our neighbourhood and who are connected to our kids and youth programs year round.  If you live within the L5J postal code, or are connected to our kids and youth programs regularly throughout the year, please claim the L5J postal code discount during your registration process.

How early in the morning can I drop my child off?
There will be supervised drop-off from 9:30-9:45am.  Unfortunately we are not able to offer extended care at this time.

What type of activities do the campers do during the day?
Each week at Saga Day Camp is filled with a variety of activities. Campers are involved in numerous activities including arts & crafts, music, active games, bible lessons, science and a host of special events that coordinate with our theme weeks. Our activities will be both indoor and outdoor this year to ensure safety, and a fun camp experience.

How old do I need to be to volunteer at Camp?
We have volunteer of all different ages, starting with Junior Volunteers who have completed grade 8.  We are always looking for high school students, university or college students, or even adults who would be willing to give one of their weeks of the summer to volunteer at camp (you can volunteer for more than one week if you want).

What grades are campers who attend camp?
Camp is offered for campers who have just completed Senior Kindergarten – grade 7 (with separate cohorts for each grade).

Do all of the staff have police checks?
Saga requires police checks for all staff who are over 18 years of age.  We also do reference checks for anyone who is in a leadership capacity at Saga, whether they are staff or volunteer.

Can I get a refund if my child cannot attend Camp?
Please give us 2 weeks notice if your child will not be attending the week they are registered in order to receive your money back. After 2 weeks, no money will be refunded, although your child can transfer weeks up until the week before camp.  If we need to cancel camp because of health regulations, we will be providing full refunds.  Refunds have a $3 admin fee associated with them
