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 CrewMeredith May is Camp Director for the second year at Mt. McSauba. Prior to becoming our Director, Meredith worked at Camp as a Counselor and has brought with her many wonderful ideas and passions. Meredith has a background working with children of all ages in childcare, school and camp settings.

All of our Counselors are a combination of high school and college-age students and certified teachers 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. Camp McSauba, per state licensing, maintains a 10 - 1 camper to staff ratio.

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

Camp Hours and FeesDrop-off is between 8:30 and 9:00. 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.
