About Our Program

Camp Stevens offers fun and unique programs led by experienced camp counselors, instructors and staff. Learn more about our program here, then please feel free to contact us with any questions!

Each camper is assigned to an Adventure Group, composed of 12-18 campers, which is led by two counselors and one senior staff member. The Adventure Groups explore over 250 acres of forests, trails, gardens, buildings, team-building challenges, and outdoor play areas. Each group cooks out over a campfire and sleeps under the stars at least once a week. Older campers may challenge themselves on the high ropes course, and younger campers aim for new heights on the climbing wall. All campers have the option to try classic camp activities such as swimming, archery, and arts and crafts.

Adventure Sessions: Campers and counselors unite to create an unforgettable week. Daily free time allows your child to explore their own passions, while adventure group time is shaped by the diverse gathering of campers and staff that make up their team.

Mini Camp: This four-day version of our adventure sessions is perfect for first-time campers or experienced adventurers with tight summer schedules. Mini-campers get a taste for the outdoors and community living to inspire a lifetime of adventure!

International Odyssey: Join our 40+ year tradition of bringing Japanese campers to Camp Stevens. Learn about Japanese culture and share your own heritage with others during this special week with extra ropes course, extra adventures, and extra time at camp.

Wilderness Trips: Venture off camp, bringing the magic of camp community into a new context. Each trip offers a personal connection to a unique group of people and a unique ecosystem or natural wonder. Trips are led by experienced staff and guides so challenge yourself to try something new, or participate in a favorite adventure.
