Welcome to Camp Shagabec, Home of Fun Since 1938!
February 11, 2021 - Hey Shagabecers! Just wanted to give a quick update regarding our registration date for the upcoming season. We have decided to move it to April 16, 2021 at 2 PM. We are hoping by waiting a little bit longer, we will have more information from the government as to how our camping season will look this summer. Thank you so much for your understanding. Love, The Camp Shagabec Committee
RE: REGISTRATION REFUNDS - JUNE 7, 2020
Hello Shagabecers,
Over the last couple of weeks, we have been processing the refunds (as the requests come in). Thank you for your patience. Each of the refunds does take quite a while to process and… we are volunteers doing our best.
As for the $5 that you did not see back on your card, that was a fee that Stripe (the operating system camp uses to obtain the money for registrations, the fee is actually $10 and camp pays for $5 of it) was paid when you registered Feb 1.
This fee does not come back to us (all $10 of it), we only see the cost of camp. I hope you will understand that there is no way camp could be out of pocket for 450 Stripe registration fees (as we are already at a loss for our $5 per registration). We have been in touch with Stripe and they were not willing to forgo that fee.
To those who have been adding kind words in your email responses, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness goes a long way.
COVID 19 NEWS - May 16, 2020
With very heavy hearts, we regret to inform all of you that, due to the threat of the COVID-19 virus, all camps for the 2020 season have been cancelled. After reviewing the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan, the camp committee came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to run camps safely and effectively considering the restrictions that would be in place.
We will be refunding your full registration, but if you are able, please consider making a monetary donation to Camp Shagabec (charitable tax receipts will be issued). With or without summer camp programs running, we still have many expenses to keep our facilities operating.
Parents, you should have received an email on May 16th and you will have to respond to it. If you did not receive an email (don't forget to check your "junk" folder), then contact the camp registrar.
Love to you all.

2018 Year in Review
Jan 21, 2019
This year, two new staff cabins were built, and we also constructed a giant gazebo (which acts a craft centre and performance arts centre). We are currently raising funds to build a much-needed new camper cabin, and to renovate the washhouse site (built in 1970). The renovations to the washhouse will not only give it a necessary/sanitary upgrade, but it will also make the site wheelchair accessible. We do not want to pass the burden of site improvements on to the campers, so we are raising these funds separately, as a capital campaign. If you are interested in making a financial donation, we would certainly appreciate any and all assistance we could get in making these additions to camp happen.
