Multi-Subject Camps

Steve & Kate’s
North and South Austin Campuses here
When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s Camp has trusted kids to choose their own activities and plan their own days in real time. Whether campers are designing, building, coding, creating, baking, dancing, playing, eating, sewing, skipping—it’s all on their own schedule. When you empower children to make their own choices and be their own bosses, the children discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity–all while learning to make course corrections and trust themselves as they go. Families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. Get all the info on dates and locations, and sign up here.
