Guests come back year after year for the connection they feel to their home away from home at Camp Stevens. Join us for our Harvest Family Camp, October 16-18! Connection is one of the values that our family camps revolve around: each day, families choose between a variety of activities to play, cook, explore, and craft alongside each other. At camp, new avenues for connection open up when you’re away from the city and devices are on mute. Family campers remark on the refreshing and easy connections they can make with others at camp, and parents share with us how special it is to see their children play with each other while making homemade jam or aguas frescas. Register or learn more at www.campstevens.org/family
Bergstrom lodge is full, but there are still rooms available in Lax Sadler, Blum, and Wolterstorff Lodges.
