Steve & Kate's Camp at Blue School

A short walk from Prospect Park, Steve & Kate's Camp at Blue School turns summer into a personal experiment. The program runs on choice—kids pick their own daily tracks from filmmaking and robotics to sewing and baking, then chase their interests inside a school that already caters to creative students. Two self-directed sessions, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., leave plenty of room for open play; snacks and lunch are included so nothing slows momentum.

The entrance sits at 760 Sterling Pl in a Brooklyn block already packed with summer energy. Families can drop in for an entire week or just a few days if calendars demand it, though daily sign-ups aren’t guaranteed. All campers bring their own single-region gear—tablets, cameras, instruments—and the staff keeps sessions small enough for real mentorship without the crowd feel of larger programs. Park time happens rain or shine, either on school grounds or next door in the park itself.

In a neighborhood where summer camps either promise elite credentials or endless field trips, this camp splits the difference. The space can host campers from rising kindergarten through eighth grade, and the same building houses after-hours workshops year-round. If you’re looking to test-drive a camp before committing, open houses are posted online but fill quickly.
