As summer break gets closer, now is the time to lock in plans before the best camps fill up. If you’re like most parents, you want your kids outside, active, making friends, and coming home tired and happy at the end of the day.
This Sauk County Summer Camp Guide brings together the camps local families trust and love, including creative art camps, sports programs, faith-based, and hands-on experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and independence.
Whether you need something for a few days, a few weeks, or the whole summer, you’ll find options here that your kids will be excited to wake up for.

Sauk County Historical Society
An exciting and expanded summer kids’ camp is coming to the Sauk County Historical
Society for students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades!
Two weeks of exciting sessions are being planned to explore local history and prehistory during the first two weeks of August. Both weeks of camp will culminate with a graduation ceremony at a free ice cream social at the Van Orden Mansion on the evening of August 12.
Time travelers will engage in local history through hands-on projects, mini field trips, behind-the-scenes tours and engaging lessons. By using maps, historic photos, documents, and artifacts, participants will solve history mysteries and learn about the people, events, and forces that shaped the local community.
This year’s Time Travelers Kids’ Camp is being supported by a grant from a donor
advised fund at the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin. This generous
support helps keep the history camp affordable and helps to purchase supplies.
