CAMP. WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGINS.

Give your teen an experience they will never forget in the great outdoors - for FREE! Steve's Camp provides campers a sense of community and teachable moments to build their self-esteem, self-respect and leadership skills. After a pandemic-filled year where New Yorkers have been confined indoors and forced to connect virtually and from behind masks, young people need camp now more than ever!
