Camp is now over, but you can reference Summer 2019 info below. We'll be back in November with Summer 2020 updates.
Arlington Summer Camp
I believe that children should have the freedom and tools to explore what they are passionate about. And if they don't know what they're passionate about yet - all the more reason for us to give them the tools and support they need to feel confident in exploring all that camp has to offer! I am so excited to work with all of the fashionistas, coders, chefs, actors, directors, and singers at Steve & Kate's Camp in Arlington this summer!

UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT THIS LOCATION
- Weather permitting, we will have water activities twice per week. We recommend applying sunblock at home and sending campers with a bathing suit, change of clothes, and a towel if they would like to participate in water play.
- Kindly keep all personal electronic devices and valuables at the homestead. We don't want them to get lost or damaged. If your child absolutely must bring an electronic device to camp, be sure to check it in at HQ upon arrival where we'll keep it safe and warm. Campers are always welcome to stop by HQ and access a cell phone whenever needed- and then check that puppy back in until departure.
- Bicycles can be locked up on campus but cannot be used during the camp day, as well as rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, etc.
- We are open July 5th! We'll be offering a modified schedule with 4th of July-themed recreational offerings to celebrate the holiday and adjust to lighter than usual attendance. Some of our regular Studios may not be available. To find out more about programming, you can reach out to your Director.

RECREATIONAL FEATURES
Each Spring Camp, we offer at least one showstopper activity from our lineup of Recreational Features. Details coming soon.
Zorb Racing- Get your Zorb on! Climb inside of one of these giant 10' inflatable hamster balls, and race down our inflated track to see who wins!
Inflatable Obstacle Course- This pumped-up pop-up primetime-inspired arena is just the dual duel your camper was waiting for! Side-by-side lanes allow for head-to-head battles of Steve & Kate’s own Team Chuckie versus Team Kahali, but everyone wins when they’re climbing, tunneling, and bouncing their way through this fun-flatable course.
Inflatable Slip and Slide- Cool off in style on our giant inflatable slip and slide. Check with the Director or look at the Daily Features schedule to find out when this will be scheduled, and bring a swimsuit and towel if your child would like to participate.
