The A-Z List of Summer Camps in Saskatoon 2024

UPDATED MAY 14, 2024. Dear reader, you may know my comprehensive list of birthday party ideas in Saskatoon and if so, my guess is this Saskatoon summer camp guide is about to come in handy. It started with a 2018 list compiled by Chantel Serack and since then, I’ve poured in countless hours on Google, in messages, and on the phone to keep it updated. Note that churches around the city also host camps so if you’re looking for those, give a ring to the denomination of your choice. And now, the moment you clicked through for… THE A-Z LIST of summer camps in Saskatoon (although I trust you’ll share in the comments if I’ve missed one — I rely on community to keep this thing fresh and complete).

FIRST: Take a moment to FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM // FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK // FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK. My annual list is made with 100% volunteer hours— my social channels are how I earn my income. Likes & comments, especially on my paid posts there, are much appreciated. TIA!

don’t worry, this link opens in another tab :)
