Stomping Ground

To inspire the next generation of radically empathetic decision makers.

We believe trusting kids is revolutionary, and we create environments where young people are heard, matter, and know they are powerful.

Our work is rooted in four core values: restorative justice, humble curiosity, personal responsibility, and unbounded creativity. We teach young people to see conflict as an opportunity for connection and innovation, to respectfully wonder about others’ experiences, to take accountability for their role in community, and to dream big with imagination and wonder.

We serve children and families from diverse backgrounds and are committed to building intentionally inclusive spaces through relationship-centered programming and a trust-based approach to access. At Stomping Ground, kids build empathy across difference, confidence through self-direction, and a deeper sense of belonging in community.

More than a summer camp, Stomping Ground is part of a larger effort to reimagine what is possible for young people and for the communities they help shape.
