Steve & Kate's Camp - Portland

★Esin S

Very disappointed with this camp. We chose it based on the activities advertised on the website, including robotics, stop-motion animation, sewing, and other hands-on projects. We also received a recommendation from a family whose children attended last year and had a great experience. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. Many of the advertised activities were not available, several areas were closed, and the camp appeared overcrowded like 200+ kids crowded. My daughter spent much of her time waiting for opportunities to participate. At the sewing station, multiple machines were broken, and she never got a turn. She also missed snack time because the process of getting her badge took so long. Same with accessing to the water. For $129 per child for a single day, we expected the activities and experience that were advertised. Instead, my children came home frustrated and disappointed, and neither wants to return. If key activities are unavailable or capacity is limited, that should be communicated clearly before parents spend hundreds of dollars expecting something different. Given the significant gap between what was advertised and what was actually available, I have also contacted the camp to request a refund and will be exploring additional avenues for addressing this issue if necessary.

Great Camp would definitely recommend it to everyone it may be pricey but it’s worth it. They provide you with snacks and even has a bunch of stuff to like an art room, a sewing room a media room etc. Also each day you get to bake something new. Such a good camp been going to it for 6 summers!!!

Brought my five year old to this camp. It was the worst possible experience. My daughter fell down while playing badly. She had burn marks from the sidewalk in her face, permanent scars. She told us she was playing with a friend and fell and couldn’t find anyone to help. The friend went around looking for a staff to help. When I reach out to speak with staff about more details about how did that happen. Staff was prohibited to speak with me and my husband. It’s negligent. They have way too many kids and few staff. I would never bring my kid here again.

A very expensive camp which was not at all able to accommodate my 6 year old with some neurodivergence. He had some issues with boundaries with not giving some kids space and because he could not “talk about this appropriately”. Immediately after this happened he was sent home 3 times resulting in me as a single mom almost losing my job. I don’t know how many adults can appropriately discuss an issue right after it happens let along a 6 year old. Please do not send your kid here if they have any problems especially if you really need to work those hours.

Our kids love it. They come home tired and happy. I like that they are flexible with dates so if your kid wakes up sick and can't go you can just use the credit for a different day.
