Summer Staff Spotlight - Mission Wong (he/him):
Mission is a lifeguard, a great listener, and will always commit to the bit! He loves exploring new places around camp and keeps a running tally of the spots he’s been on camp’s 256 acres. Camp has become one of his favorite places to be and he uses that passion to share unique experiences with our campers. As a Team Leader, Mission will be responsible for supporting the cabin counselors, CITS, and campers in his Adventure Group as well as coordinating with other adventure groups, chaplains, and camp leadership. Let’s go Mission!

Memorial Day Weekend Family Camp was pure joy. We reunited with old friends and met some new families as well. Fan favorites like pool, archery, cobb oven cooking, needle felting, face painting, plant hikes, bird watching, nature mandalas, tie dye, family trivia, and climbing wall were extra fun in the perfect weather. We also tried some new things like making fresh aguas frescas! Register your family for an unforgettable camp experience this fall at the link in bio!

“Is my child ready for summer camp?” is a question we get often but can’t answer for you based on age alone. Each child is different, and readiness is an important component of a successful camp experience. General indicators of readiness for summer camp include:
Camper expresses excitement and curiosity about attending camp.
Camper can manage their daily self-care tasks like teeth brushing, hair care, showering, etc.
Camper is curious about nature and the outdoors. Ideally they have gone camping or hiking before.
Camper understands that Camp Stevens is rustic and outdoorsy and will include at least one overnight under the stars in addition to sleeping overnight in cabins.
Camper is ready to compromise and understands that the camp experience will be shared with others who also have ideas, needs, and preferences.
Camper understands that they won’t have their cell phone or be able to call home during their time at camp (see camper packet for information on how to write emails and receive letters).
If your camper does not meet these indicators of readiness, consider waiting another year or two or contact us about your child and what accommodations they may need in order to be successful at camp.

Another Burton Family Kickball Game for the record books! After 2 devastating losses in a row the Camp Stevens staff finally won one with Coach B-Will hyping us up and setting out a path for success. It was still a close match though! Maybe the Burtons can pull out some magic next year and win back the trophy.

Thanks to a grant from Camp Stevens welcomed a new transit van to the team! Transportation is the biggest barrier for many campers and guests. This new van makes safe, reliable, comfortable transportation possible for summer campers, guests, and community events. We are full of gratitude to the amazing folks at Las Patronas for making this possible. Give us a little honk and a wave if you see us driving this gorgeous thing out and about.

Growing up living here at camp means Facilities Director Kevin’s kids have a pretty cool backyard and a bunch of caring grownups as neighbors. A little birdie told us that the camp kids wanted cool name tags like the rest of the staff… and we delivered. Cue the galloping down the office stairs with big grins and gratitude, they even wore the name tags to school today. Not every kid gets to live here full time, but we still have spots open for this summer for your kiddos to live here for a week. Register for summer at www.campstevens.org/summer
