Sarnia camps for 2026

Kinds of camps in Sarnia

Sarnia summer camps and kids programs come in a variety. For example, STEM camps are increasingly popular in the city as elsewhere. Sports camps like soccer summer camps are also perennially popular. While day camps are a typical choice of parents we always encourage parents to consider overnight camps for their kids. 

Typical costs of camps

Camps in Sarnia start around $200 per week per child for day-long summer camp, but specialized camps will start higher, at $450 for a camp such as a coding camp. 

How to find the best camp in three steps

1. Listen to and acknowledge what your child wants from a camp, then think about what areas they need to grow in. 

2. Consider practical matters like proximity to your home or work, as well as the cost, as most parents do. You can sort the list above for a variety of factors. 

3. Reach out to camps armed with the right questions.

Here are five key questions to get you started:

• How much time does the camp spend on the activities that matter to your child? 
• What is the goal or projected outcome of the camp or session?
• How big are camp groupings and how much individual attention is given to kids?
• How strict are the drop-off and pick-up times?
• What training do leaders have concerning dealing with discipline or bullying?

Those are a good place to start but our sister site OurKids.net has a downloadable book of 14 questions to ask camps.
