Designed for Success…Engineered for Fun

Southampton Camp & Club’s unique Stepping Stones program is the ONLY summer program in the Hamptons specifically designed to provide your child with a developmental edge. What your child does during the two months of the summer can make a tremendous difference in their development – the skills our Stepping Stones campers learn in one summer form the foundation for success as they transition into their respective school experiences.

  • Developing Core Values – Our recreational and interactive setting provides children with a unique opportunity to learn, practice and reinforce their values. On a daily basis, our team of experienced professionals teach, promote, recognize and celebrate camper efforts to exhibit our STARFISH™ values (Sportsmanship, Tolerance, Appreciation, Respect, Friendship, Integrity, Sensitivity, Helpfulness).
  • Increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and resilience – We pride ourselves on developing an intentionally positive environment which is essential in motivating young children to try to participate in new activities without a fear of failure.
  • Advance social skills and independence – Camp is the perfect interactive setting for children to learn (without the help of their parents) how to communicate, share, and interact while developing relationships with other boys and girls their age.
  • Improved Motor Skill Development – All Stepping Stones campers receive age-appropriate instruction in a variety of athletics with the goal of developing a strong foundation of core physical and movement skills.
  • Increased “self-awareness” – Our commitment to a structured program with small groups and high staff to camper ratios encourages campers to exhibit body control, patience, cooperation, and emotional maturity while learning how to interact on a “team”.
  • “Continued Education” with creative and interactive learning – Music, art, cooking, nature, theatre, dance, imaginative play and more stimulates our campers’ minds and helps to develop their creative skills. We also offer private, individualized, supplemental education services AT CAMP through our Advance! tutoring program which can prepare children academically for a more successful transition into the school year.
  • Best “Learn-to-Swim” Program – We believe that every child should know how to swim and be confident in the water, which is why every camper has American Red Cross swim instruction at camp every day! If you feel your child needs extra one-on-one attention, we offer private and semi-private classes.
