An incredible experience for my daughter on the autism spectrum. I was hesitant to send my daughter to Steve and Kate's because of the unlimited choices provided to the children. Many of our sped children, including my own, thrive off of a predictable schedule. I intended to send her for the day to test out the environment. Imagine my shock surprise when she didn't want to leave. I received unprompted feedback about my kid's day and they kept an eye on her behavioral well being. I would send her back in a heartbeat. Tyler at the Somerville location is the best! read more

The camp is amazingly organized and accommodating for both parents and kids, hours and food provided were a nice bonus, but I felt a little led astray. Didn't turn out the way I expected. With "freedom" for the kids... that means they really just choose whatever they want. I was so excited about the various offerings... but my child (about whom we're quite strict about input of screen time, etc) chose to play video and iPad games the entire time (multiple days) he was there. Perhaps I ought to have understood more clearly that Mario Kart and iPad games were going to be options. And taken that into consideration with my child's proclivities. He also had a hard time meeting other kids and making friends. Not usually difficult for him, but he said kids already had cliques and the older/bigger kids were condescending and mean. Oh well. We tried it because we needed to. Won't come again though. read more

Great camp to go to you could do coding and gaming performance sowing best camp for all kid's

I'll start with this: three months later, my kid is still talking about this camp and asking when he can go back. From the online orientation videos (a huge plus for kids who are reluctant to try new things), to the creativity-focused activities, to the daily hot lunch, this was hands-down our family's favourite day camp of the dozen-plus we've experienced. I was so impressed by the friendly, responsive, and competent leadership, the brand-spanking-new technology the kids got to use for movie-making and coding, and the range of activities. But equally wonderful from a parent's perspective is how organized and streamlined the registration, payment, and check-in procedures are. Each morning, I could log in via my phone, select my kid's lunch choice, and off we went to the check-in with no lineup. Easy peasy. My somewhat introverted kid found this a very welcoming place with plenty of self-guided activities. He always got lots of exercise, but never came home mentally exhausted the way he sometimes does from school, where the nonstop socializing wears him out. He tried new stuff, like sewing and breadmaking, and came home proud of his accomplishments and the things he'd made. His description: "Mom! It's basically choice time, ALL DAY!" - which is the highest praise imaginable. Highly recommended and worth the slightly higher price, especially given the flexible hours & dates. read more

We sent my daughter to the camp today and she got bullied by a boy. He scratched her nose with deep nail trace and also kicked my daughter belly in the castle game. My daughter told me that he was on purpose doing these. The teacher only said ' stop' and didn't do anything else. Even no one except my daughter told me what was going on. I never send my kids the camp again. Very bad experience. read more

Excellent, innovative summer program for kids. From the drone racing, stop motion animation, music mixing, bread making, sewing and go-karting, to the more traditional games and group sports, there is always something to keep the kids interested and engaged. For parents, the best part is that you don't have to commit to full weeks- just buy a pass and show up anytime during the summer. They provide a hot lunch and snacks throughout the day. All their supplies and equipment eg. card games, crayons, iPads - are brand new. Their furniture is made of cardboard! so you never have to deal with beat up fixtures. Our kids love going to Steve and Kate's, which is probably the best endorsement. read more

Number and attention of counselors to kids is few - to the point that the kids assume that any grown-up entering the building is a counselor. Counselors seem demotivated and are not very friendly or forthcoming to the kids. Queues for the activities were long. You would have to wait for 1 or 2 days to bake bread in a plastic bag. While I love the idea of this camp, I think the execution needs to be a lot better - with more energy and quality. Gathering equipment in a room with a lot of kids just does not do the job. The best thing about this camp that they refund the days you don't attend! read more
