Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.
When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 43 years, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. As they try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.
Campers choose activities minute to minute–deciding what they want to do, and for how long. Our job is to get out of their way, cheerlead creative risks, and provide just enough guidance to make sure nobody does anything totally* senseless.
*Totally senseless: By our definition, mistakes aren’t senseless. They’re how you learn.

Campers will design their day in real-time by choosing from a variety of activities offered at once. In the early morning and late afternoon, campers ramp up and wind down with recreational choices. For the bulk of the day, children will choose from the activities listed below. While we can’t say exactly what the day will look like, one thing is for sure: The campers are in control.
Please note that this camp location is sponsored by Bright Horizons, and booking is only available through back-up care. Booking is available 30–90 days before your date of care–depending on your employer’s reservation window. To reserve your spot, please go through your normal Bright Horizons booking channels, and select your local Steve & Kate’s Camp as the requested provider. Once reserved, we’ll send you a confirmation email with a registration link to create a Steve & Kate’s Camp account.
