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.
Oregon Dream Teams
We are thrilled to be able to offer a place for your kids to have fun, make friends, and stay active during the summer months! At ODT, kids never have “too much energy” because we keep them busy and having fun! They’ll enjoy personal attention from caring staff who engage them in play and learning every step of the way.
Limited spaces are available, and we’re sure to fill up quickly—so don’t wait to register!

Ekone Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind camp program on over 1200 acres of canyonlands & forests near the Columbia Gorge. Our overnight camps feature small groups (12-18 campers) and a high staff to camper ratio.
We offer programs that focus on spending meaningful time outside, exploring the land, and working on projects & skill-building. All of our sessions emphasize creating a supportive camp community, healthy peer relationships, and a positive work ethic. Campers have an unforgettable immersion experience in healthy lifestyles, good eating, and great friends. They learn that good work can be great fun, and they come back year after year for more!
