Summer Day Camp
Sacramento, CA
Registration for Summer 2027 will open on Friday, Dec. 12, 202.
Jump into the fun with our summer day camp, where campers can experience all the adventure and enjoyment of a Sierra Nevada Journeys program in a day camp setting. We offer eight weeks of STEM-based day camp programs for children ages 5–12, entering kindergarten in the fall of 2027. (Must be potty-trained.)
Day Camp is held at Sacramento Valley Conservancy’s Camp Pollock, 1501 Northgate Blvd., Sacramento, CA. While many of our activities take place outdoors, we also have access to the air-conditioned lodge at Camp Pollock. We plan to use the lodge regularly in the afternoons and whenever temperatures become too high for safe or comfortable extended time outside.
Our team of talented educators and camp counselors lead campers through a combination of daily themed STEM activities, nature exploration, daily water play, and campers’ choice. In addition to traditional camp activities, each week of camp focuses on a specific theme. Our low camper-to-staff ratio and small groups allow for the perfect combination of group instruction and personal attention.
Join us for a summer full of fun, learning, and outdoor adventure!
