Day Camps
At San Francisco Day School we hold camps during some of the days when school is not in session. We are open from 8am to 6pm and have a mix of structured activities and unstructured play designed to keep students engaged during their time off of school. We are closed on federal holidays.

How do I register for camp?
You can register online here. If you need to modify or cancel your registration, please email Rob Eifler (reifler@sfday.org) to receive a refund. You can sign up for full days (8:00am - 6:00pm) or half days as well as full weeks or individual days.
What does camp cost?
SF Day offers two options for camp. If you sign up at least 24 hours before camp begins, the fee is $50 for a half day (4 hours or less at camp) or $90 for a full day (if your student is with us for more than 4 hours).
If you do not sign up in advance, our drop-in camp rate is $75 for a half day (less than 4 hours) or $135 for a full day of camp. This enables our program to staff adequately and maintain a 1:11 teacher:student ratio. Our goal is to ensure all students are not only having fun but stay safe while at school.
Please cancel your camp registration 24 hours before camp begins, otherwise you will not receive a refund.
