All year long, kids find themselves encased in rigid structure.
When summer comes, we give them what they desperately need — freedom to expand and evolve. At Steve & Kate’s, campers choose which activities they do, whom they do it with and for how long. For kids, this experience is pure joy. It’s also a kind of training ground for life, where they’ll need to be empowered and independent and resilient and responsible for their own decisions. Happy human-ing starts here.
Grown-ups adore freedom, too.
We’ve described the magical gift you give your kids when you empower them to make their own decisions. Now let’s talk hardcore convenience for you:
- Buy a Summer Pass and send your kid to camp any day you want? Check.
- Drop them off and pick them up whenever you want? Yup.
- Long camp hours, all included in your camp fee? Totally.
- Tasty meals and snacks, also included? You bet.
- Get an automatic refund for unused days at summer’s end? For sure.
- Do you desire this kind of freedom? Yes, you do.
Please note: Due to Boston regulations, families attending camp in Boston will be required to reserve their weekly session prior to attending camp. Still, we understand things happen, and will refund any unused days if anything comes up.

Activities
The camper’s dilemma.
Coding. Sewing. Baking. Making. Sporting. Lounging. Every day, campers face the excruciating task of choosing from these and many more engrossing activities. Some select a mix of many. Others burrow deep into one or two. Every morning, they face a brand new day bristling with terrible trade-offs and tantalizing possibilities.
In the early morning and late afternoon, campers ramp up and wind down with recreational choices. For the bulk of the day, children will choose from the activities listed below:
STOP-MOTION ANIMATION
SEWING SALON
CODING
THE STAGE
ROBOTICS
BAKERY
TINKER LAB
S&K TRADITIONS
SPORTS & REC
WEEKLY SPECIALS
WATER PLAY
LOUNGE
MORE ACTION
Extra action.
At Steve & Kate’s, enough is never enough. So every week we supplement our main offering of awesome activities with thrill-inducing weekly specials. Here’s what’s coming this summer to your location:
Youngest campers fly solo, but there’s a net.
Most kids take to life at Steve & Kate’s like the naturally hardy individuals they are. For some, especially our younger campers, it can take a little longer to get their wings. That’s why each camp has staff dedicated specifically to supporting our youngest campers. Helping these campers discover their camp magic is the whole point of our Youngest Camper Support Staff, and every time it’s exhilarating to behold.
Food
Eat your heart out.
Life without delicious food sucks. That’s why our cuisine de camp features a mouth-watering array of tasty, nourishing grub. In partnership with fan favorite restaurants, we keep kids fired up with food they love — from piping hot pizza to salubrious Caesar salads to tangy tomato soup, and much more. Our menus include rotating specials as well as healthy snacks and sides kids can grab whenever their fuel gauge dips into the red. Chomp, chomp. Munch, munch.
Fees
What camp costs.
For as long as Boston regulations require it, registration will be in weekly blocks, instead of by the day (which is our norm). So, please think about your plans in increments of five Day Passes, to cover your weekly session(s). That being said, we know that things happen. If for any reason your plans change and you need to miss a day of camp–don’t sweat it. We’ll automatically refund your unused Passes in full at summer’s end. How many other camps can offer you that level of flexibility?*
*Not one that we know of.
Day Pass and Summer Pass fees cover the entire Steve & Kate’s experience, including lunch, snacks, activities and the entire day from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Includes: Lunch, snacks, activities, and all hours, 8am–6pm.
- Buy a minimum of 5 Day Passes to be used in weekly blocks
- Unused Day Passes are automatically refunded in mid September
- You can upgrade to a Summer Pass whenever you want by purchasing 30 Day Passes per child
Includes: Lunch, snacks, activities, and all hours, 8am–6pm.
- One fee covers the entire summer–that’s up to 44 days of camp in Boston–Jamaica Plain!
- If you purchase a Summer Pass and use less than 30 days of camp, we’ll calculate what you would have paid at the Day Pass rate and refund you the difference automatically in mid September

Testimonials
Staff
So much more than
a job.
For our team members, giving kids the space to liberate their true potential becomes a kind of calling. Think of them as a high-energy, warm-hearted crew of child advocates who deftly balance two invaluable skills — that of providing structure and guidance, and that of staying the heck out of campers’ ways. If that’s not enough, they’re all background-checked and trained in CPR and first-aid. Say “hi” to them at camp — they’d love to meet you.
