Camp Stomping Ground

Stomping Ground is an overnight camp located in Saratoga Springs, NY dedicated to inspiring the next generation of radically empathetic decision makers. We focus on creating intentionally diverse and inclusive communities, building empathy, and inspiring gigantic possibilities.

We start from the idea that kids aren’t so different from grown ups, and that more is possible if we treat others the way they want to be treated. We believe that every member of our community has a right to feel safe, physically and emotionally. Someday every child wakes up and no one tells them what to do. We believe that kids learn best through making decisions not by following directions. Every decision we make at camp stems from these ideas.
