If you've ever found yourself scrolling through neighbourhood Facebook groups, asking other parents for recommendations, or discovering an amazing summer camp just days after registration closed, you're in good company. I've been there too!
Every year, summer seems so far away — until suddenly, it's right around the corner. Between work, family life, and everything in between, keeping track of summer camp registration dates can feel like another full-time job.
For me, finding summer programs often came down to word of mouth, hours of online searching, or simply signing up for the same activities year after year — not because we didn't enjoy them, but because I didn't always know what else was available in our community.
And I kept thinking: Surely, there has to be an easier way.
That's Why I Created My Saint John Summer
I wanted to create one convenient place where local families could discover children's summer camps, activities, and programs across Greater Saint John, New Brunswick — without having to search dozens of websites or rely on catching a Facebook post at just the right moment.
Whether you're looking for summer day camps, sports programs, swimming lessons, arts and crafts, STEM activities, outdoor adventures, or affordable summer activities for kids, my goal is to make finding those opportunities a little easier.
My Saint John Summer brings together information about children's summer programs in Saint John, Rothesay, Quispamsis, and Grand Bay-Westfield, helping parents explore options based on their child's age, grade, interests, location, and budget.
And because finding a great program is only half the battle, the directory also aims to help families keep track of registration dates when that information is available.
More Discovering. Less Searching.
I believe every family deserves to know about the wonderful opportunities available right here in our community.
Sometimes, the perfect summer experience is closer than we think — we just haven't heard about it yet.
My hope is that My Saint John Summer helps you discover something new, plan a little earlier, and spend less time searching for information and more time looking forward to the memories your kids will make.
From one busy parent to another, welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
Here's to less scrambling, fewer missed registrations, and more summer adventures.
Your neighbour,
The Mom Behind My Saint John Summer ❤️
