Steve & Kate’s Camp

WHEN YOU TRUST KIDS, THEY TRUST THEMSELVES
Grades K-7th Mentorship Program for 8th and 9th

Kids come into this world brimming with curiosity, wonder and creative potential. Unfortunately, we often squash that potential by telling kids what to do, and what to learn.

At Steve & Kate’s, we believe that when you trust kids, they develop the confidence to trust themselves, and learn to use their own judgment. So we built a summer camp that puts kids in charge. Because unlike traditional schools, summer gives us the freedom to reinvent learning in a way that allows kids to make their own choices – and, of course, a few mistakes along the way.

Driven by this belief, we’ve built our summer camp to put kids in the driver’s seat of a world of possibilities. So whether your child is a natural-born storyteller with a love for animation, or a budding chef, or a hacker-in-training, or a dance machine, they can dive into their passions in a world free from adult judgments and expectations.

This summer we’ll be launching our digital camper hub, introducing campers to our brand new Game Room, and making even more possible in the music, film, and fashion studios! After 37 years, we are still obsessed with reinventing summer. Because if we’ve learned one thing, it’s that when you think like a child, anything is possible.

At Steve & Kate’s campers step into a world packed with possibilities to experience new opportunities, express themselves, explore their passions and infinite potential. The results are unexpected and surprisingly rich. You can buy a Membership for the whole summer or stock up on Day Passes and use them when you need them. Oh, and lunch is included. Ta-da! Camp Simplified.

Modern children’s camps: here you can not only relax in the summer, but study all year round

Winter shift at the Artek camp / Photo: artek. org

Today the camp is not so much health improvement as education. It makes no sense to consider the camp only as an option for a summer vacation. If the camp is in a different climatic zone, then the child’s adaptation may take the whole shift. Therefore, the benefit must be sought elsewhere. Director of the most famous children’s camp “Artek” Alexey Kasprzhak tells why today you should go to the camp and not only in summer. nine0003

The camp is a different format of communication, a different environment. The child needs an environment that is different from school, an environment where he is in charge. Then it becomes clear why the camp is needed at any time of the year. It is easier to learn what is not taught in school today. It is easier to master skills that are not in the Federal State Educational Standard: self-organization, the ability to set goals and achieve them, the ability to work in a team, and even in a new one, initial career guidance, competitiveness, mastering meta-subject skills.

Finding an understandable way to communicate with children to solve these problems in the camp is easier, since there are no teachers-heads over them, they are not pressured by obligations, here they owe nothing to anyone and are free in their choice. It is very important sometimes to change the team, the environment. And sometimes it is necessary to tear the child away from the parents. nine0003

Rest for a child is a change of activity, an opportunity to do something different from what he has been doing for nine months at school

Children at this age are already independent. And in the camp they themselves can choose what they are really interested in, and we are only trying to help them with this.

For example, here in Artek you can go on sea trips or plein airs, choose classes in scientific laboratories or at a biosphere station, sports clubs or humanitarian studies, music studios or the basics of forensic science, robotics or 3D modeling – you can’t list everything , we have more than 70 thematic partners. Someone chooses an already familiar type of activity, and someone wants to try himself in a new business. Some work in a team, while others work on their own. And here the task of the camp – counselors and teachers – is to help the child feel confident in his abilities, to believe in himself. This is generally the most important task. For its implementation, the time of year is not important. nine0003

In the minds of adults, there is an idea that only school is needed all year round, and the rest – from time to time. The child studies at school for the entire academic year, and if the parents have the opportunity, he goes to clubs and studios, and in the summer he goes to the camp. All educational institutions work separately, they are not aimed at solving a single task – at educating a person who knows his desires and goals, is confident that he can do it, and has gained experience. To do this, the child must be in a saturated environment all year round, that is, in an environment that meets the general goals of the development of his personality. Otherwise, from the work of disparate educational institutions, it is very difficult to create motivation in the child’s head for growth, for independent upward movement. This is one side of the problem. The other is that a child today is forced to act according to cliché scenarios given to him by his parents, adults, and society. This scenario is often very different from the worldview that the student has inside. nine0003

In “Artek” everything is intertwined – the camp, and the school, and the system of additional education

And everything works for one task and explains in the language of children. Thanks to this, the child is motivated to participate in the “drama” of our shift. Quite mature and completely unsocialized children come to us, because their life activity is absolutely provided and directed by parents and school. We are trying to convey to children that the responsibility for the world order around them is their personal responsibility. No one will bear this responsibility for them: neither parents nor bosses. And therefore, such a flexible environment as a camp is fundamentally important. There are separate successful similar practices implemented in good copyright schools, but there are only a few of them. nine0003

A child is always interested in adult images, especially at the age when he gains an understanding of himself, his destiny. Whether he is intended to perform or lead, work in a large or small team, be a cog in the system or a freelance artist. This is what growing up is all about. It is important that the environment also forms character traits, or certainly shows them. That is why we are not talking about the need for one thing in summer and another in winter. Both in summer and winter, it is necessary to use all the resources of the educational system so that the educational environment meets the challenges and requests of children and works for them, and does not force them to work for themselves. In the camp, in this sense, it is more free, it is less formalized. nine0003

Having applied this in Artek, we thought it would be good to do it everywhere. Therefore, if we are to start changing educational technologies, then we need to start from the camp, which means that the camp is needed all year round. It is necessary to increase the appeal to the camp: today only 10% of children go to organized camps. And only 10% of these camps have the idea that the camp should be managed by an educational program.

Camp resources should be used more efficiently, opportunities should be created for the child to come to camp not only in summer

The school should be the navigator in education today. This can be implemented in megacities. And in small towns, in villages? Different models should work there, for example, contractual models between different elements of the educational system. After all, almost every school has another educational institution: a club, a house of creativity, a studio, or at least some kind of forestry, relatively speaking, which can be used to enrich the educational environment. It is important to understand that places for children to study can be different. nine0003

One hundred days after school – Augustine SEVERIN

Augustine SEVERIN

20.04.2017

The organization of summer holidays for our young compatriots is recognized as a task of national importance. The other day, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the transfer of relevant powers to the Ministry of Education and Science. Olga Vasilyeva’s team does not have much time left to patch up holes in this problematic area – after all, the “long” school holidays begin in some five to six weeks. nine0032

It is clear that the impetus for this structural change was the misfortune that happened last summer: then 14 children died in a children’s camp on the Karelian Syamozero. The tragedy showed that the system of organizing the rest of the younger generation needs serious changes. Deciding to figure out what needs to be done first, Kultura turned to experts. As it turned out, women are most worried about the situation, which is probably not surprising.
