Sacramento, California – Sacramento families looking for affordable activities during Thanksgiving week have a new option that costs less than many everyday outings. For just $10 a day, children can spend their fall break playing sports, creating art, enjoying outdoor activities, and making new friends.
And there’s another benefit for parents. Lunch is included, and the City of Sacramento is bringing the program to seven community centers, making it easier for families across the city to participate without spending much money.
The City of Sacramento’s Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment (YPCE) department is inviting families to register for its upcoming Fall Break Camp, a three-day program scheduled for November 23 through November 25, 2026.

Designed for children ages 6 to 12, the camp offers a combination of supervised activities in a safe, welcoming environment while students are away from their regular school routines.
Each day runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., giving participants five hours of organized activities. Children can take part in sports, games, arts, and outdoor adventures, with different opportunities to stay active and explore their interests.

One of the biggest advantages is the program’s flexible registration. Instead of requiring families to sign up for all three days, the city allows parents to select individual days based on their schedules.
At $10 per day, attending the entire three-day camp would cost $30 per child, with lunch provided each day.
The program will be offered at seven Sacramento community centers: Coloma, Clunie, George Sim, Hagginwood, Oak Park, Pannell, and South Natomas.
However, families should keep in mind that not every location is guaranteed to operate. According to the city, availability depends on registration numbers and attendance, and some sites could be canceled if minimum enrollment requirements are not met.
For families concerned about the cost, Sacramento is also offering financial assistance through scholarships. Additional information about available assistance can be found on the city’s Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment website.
Parents interested in securing a place for their children can complete registration through the city’s online Fall Break Camp registration portal.
Residents who need additional details about camp activities, registration, or participating locations can contact the department at (916) 808-6060.
With Thanksgiving approaching, the program gives Sacramento families an affordable way to keep children engaged during the school break while offering parents flexibility in planning their holiday week.
