Here, we put kids in charge. Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 43 years, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. They try, fail, and learn on their own. They learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.

Campers choose minute to minute from a variety of activities including, sewing, stop-motion animation, music, sports & recreation, makers crafts, bread making, and more. They’ll decide what they want to do, and for how long. Our job is to get out of their way, cheerlead creative risks, and provide just enough guidance to make sure nobody does anything totally* asinine.

*Totally asinine: By our definition, mistakes aren’t asinine. They’re how you learn.

MORE ABOUT OUR PHILOSOPHY

Buy any number of days. Use them anytime. Get refunded for unused days.

Maybe you’re the type that likes to plan ahead. Maybe you’re not. Either way, we’ve structured our fees to work around your calendar, whether you’re making it up on the fly or trying to crack the color code of a multi-tab Excel spreadsheet.

Choose a summer’s worth of camp, or buy camp by the day. If your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused days in full. Lunch, snacks, and all of the fun activities your kid can squeeze in between 8AM – 6PM included.

Kind Words About Our Camps

"The children that attend Steve & Kate's blossom and discover a freedom of identity that, in a way, no other institution I've experienced has ever managed. Kids find their thumbprint at Steve & Kate's. My one complaint: Where were they when I was a kid?"
Andrew Stanton

Director of WALL-E, Finding Nemo, & Finding Dory

"If kids ruled the world, it might look something like Steve and Kate’s Camp."
Apple's Hot News

"Steve and Kate’s Camp didn’t set out to cater to the children of folks at Pixar, Industrial Light & Magic and the like, but given their philosophy, it’s no surprise so many attend."
Variety magazine

"For families seeking a blend of that traditional camp experience combined with a modern, tech-savvy touch, there’s Steve and Kate’s Camp [which] evokes a laid-back aura true to its California roots, complemented by the company’s Silicon Valley-inspired innovative approaches to everything from programming to payment."
The Washington Post

"Working parents’ worries dissipate as they contemplate Steve & Kate’s model."
Chicago Tribune

You’ve got questions — We’ve got
answers

We know that choosing the right camp for your family is a big deal, and you’ve got limited time to make that decision. That’s why we put together these quick answers to our most commonly asked questions. But if you’d rather talk to a real, live person–we get it. Our camp directors work year-round and are happy to chat with you–just reach out!

What’s the age range for camp?

Camp is designed for children aged 4–12.

With that said, due to local regulations, a couple states require campers turn 5 years old by a certain date, or are entering kindergarten before their first day of camp. (CO, VA, GA–We're looking at you.) Please see your local camp page for any specific age requirements.

Automatic full refunds? Are you joking?

We do like to kid, but we're serious about automatic refunds. Once a camp season has ended, we'll search through any accounts that have unused Day Passes, and automatically refund them in full. If you purchased a Summer Pass, and don't end up using enough days to justify the cost, we'll calculate what you would have paid at the daily rate, and automatically refund you the difference.

Yes–we refund the full amount you paid.
No–there are no processing fees or anything like that.
Yes–we're serious!

I can’t find my camp’s dates, hours & location!

Yeah, you’re going to need those details! You can find all your local camp information including dates, hours, activities, and contact info, on your local camp page:

  • See all Summer Camp locations & dates, here.

  • See all Winter & Spring Camp locations & dates, here.

Are there any additional fees?

Nope, you won’t find any surprise fees hiding under your kid’s bed (though we still recommend checking for other monsters).

Our all-inclusive rates include:

  • All camp hours (8 AM - 6 PM)

  • Snacks and lunch

  • Any activities that interest your child

Plus, we’ll refund any unused Day Passes at the end of the season. Learn more about our flexible fees and magical refunds here.

I registered! What’s next?

Excellent! After you’ve 1) completed your happy dance and 2) high fived everyone at an arm’s length, you’re pretty much all set.

Once it agets closer to the start of camp, we’ll email you a link to our Virtual Orientation, which will clue you in to everything you need to know for your kid’s first day.

Have questions now? You can get in touch with your local director, or check out last year's Virtual Orientation, here.
