Steve & Kate’s Camp
Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s has put kids in charge of their own learning experience. Campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time, including sewing, coding, film, sports, and more! As kids 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.
Families can buy any number of days, to use at any time–no weekly reservations required. Or, buy a Summer Pass, which covers the whole season. If your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused days at summer’s end. Lunch, snacks & 8am–6pm included.
Animal Humane Society Summer Camp
Express your love for animals through art! Campers in grades 3-6 will work on daily animal-themed crafts at this weeklong program. Camp is hosted by Animal Humane Society at their St. Paul site.

Camp Fire Minnesota
Nature is more important than ever for our kids – a place for play, creativity, stress relief, and connecting with others. If your kids haven’t been to Camp Fire Minnesota, a non-profit accredited by the American Camp Association in Excelsior on 103 acres along Lake Minnewashta, you must check out this outdoor gem in the southwest metro. Camp Fire Minnesota welcomes all young people to explore nature year-round and believes that the outdoors should be accessible;, all programs offer scholarships based on need and availability.
