"Steve and Kate Susskind must know what they're doing - they've been running Steve and Kate's Camp for 30 years in Marin - although it all sounds as chaotic as a Wonderland tea party. Their philosophy: Let kids decide. Happy campers, age 4 to 12, are given a choice of activities that include things such as high-def filmmaking, electric car racing, sewing, knitting, sculpture, bungee jumping, soccer, etc. - and the kid decides which activity and how long to do it. A camper can do whatever for as long as he or she likes. "It's structure," Steve says, "just a different structure." "We want to make sure we're doing what the kids want." Kate says. "We conform to them, not the other way around." Food at the camp is heavy on the organic, fresh and locally grown, and is served family-style with the cafe open all day. Again, kids choose. Parents can choose, too - when and how often to bring their children - from one day to an entire summer. Unused days are automatically refunded. And somehow it just all works."
