Our camp conforms to kids. Not the other way around.

Instead of rigid structure, we give our campers choice. Instead of teaching kids the typical way, we give them tools and gentle guidance, then we help them become auto-didacts, people who teach themselves. The difference is subtle – and it’s profound.

At Steve & Kate’s, campers step into a world packed with possibilities: for experiencing new sensations, for expressing themselves, for exploring their unique passions and potential. The results are unexpected, and they’re unexpectedly rich.
One camper dives deep into digital film-making. Another discovers a passion for dance. Or chess. A camper becomes engrossed in making the ultimate spaghetti sauce. Or developing Leo Messi-like touch on the soccer pitch. These discoveries are all the more exhilarating because campers make them for themselves.
This is the world liberated from adult judgments and expectations, and campers flourish in it. After 32 years, we’re still 100-percent obsessed with making each edition of Steve & Kate’s freer, fresher and more effective at inspiring campers to zero in on what makes them truly happy.
