About UsCamp McSauba is a summer day camp for kids ages 5 - 13. We offer 8 themed weeks full of fun, adventure, learning and laughter. Explore nature, swim in Lake Michigan, learn about animals and their habitats, play new games and enjoy some old favorites. Campers will make new friends and memories at Camp McSauba!

Our CrewJane Milan is the Camp Director at Mt. McSauba. This is Jane’s fourth year with us and she is excited to see some familiar faces and meet new ones. Jane has taught elementary education in private international schools and in the US for over twenty years.

All of our Counselors are high school and college-age students who have current CPR, First Aid and Lifeguard training. The Counselors will engage with the campers in all activities, provide a safe and fun environment, and create new summer memories.

We are all looking forward to a fun and unforgettable camp season!

Camp Hours and Fees

Drop-off is at 8:30. Camp begins at 9:00. The door will remain locked until 8:30 so please do not drop your child off before that time. Pick-up is at 4:00. Because our days are packed with scheduled activities, it is important that our Campers arrive on time. It is equally important that Campers are picked up on time as many of our Counselors have second jobs they need to get to. Thank you for helping us stay on time!

This year we are offering Camp Chill. For an additional $25 per camper, per week, we will extend the pick up time to 5:15. This is offered Monday - Thursday only. Friday pick-up remains 4:00. Your camper must be picked up by that time, no exceptions. Pre-registration for Camp Chill is required.

The weekly rate for day camp is $100 for residents within the city limits of Charlevoix or residents of Charlevoix Township. The non-resident weekly rate is $120. The week of July 1 is $75 for everyone regardless of residency due to no camp on the 4th or 5th of July.

You cannot use the on-line registration if you want to take advantage of the payment plan.
