Lakeview Summer Day Camp
Kids Take Charge
Every aspect of our program is designed to put kids in charge of their own learning experience. At Steve & Kate’s, campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time, as they design their day at camp. As kids try, fail, and learn on their own–they learn to trust their own judgment. These will ultimately be the kids who are prepared to tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.
Buy Any Number of Days. Use Them Anytime. Get Refunded for Unused Days.
Buy any number of Day Passes to use any day we're open this summer. You don't even need to tell us when you're coming–just show up! Or, if you need more camp, we have a Summer Pass, which covers the entire camp season. All Passes include lunch, snacks, activities, and all hours (8am–6pm), so there are no surprise fees later on.
And if for any reason your plans change, we'll refund your unused Passes automatically in full at summer's end.

Activities for Every Interest
With the trajectory of child vaccinations and loosening regulations, campers will, once again, design their day in real-time by choosing from a variety of activities offered at once. 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. While we can't say exactly what the day will look like, one thing is for sure: The campers are in control.
Campers use scaffolded coding apps to build & play games. They'll also create stop-motion animations, movies, & music, as well as have access to other design tools.
Jump into the spotlight with dancing and karaoke, as well as performing art games, performances, & specials.
Hand & machine sewing are available for campers of all ages as well as options for embroidery, knitting, & other artistic flare.
Each week we'll bring in a show-stopping special such as a giant inflatable, race cars, or a climbing wall. Weekly Special schedule coming soon.
Experienced bakers & professional taste-testers unite to experiment with different bread recipes & creations.
Campers and staff join together to play soccer, gaga, capture the flag, or whatever games children are interested in that day.
Imagination is the limit on what campers will create with a mix of basic maker kits, crafts, and art supplies.
When the weather gets hot, we'll cool down with water games & activities such as water tag, sprinklers, or an inflatable slip n' slide.
At Steve & Kate's, Fridays are Pie Day! Our 40+ year tradition continues of ending the week with a whipped cream pie to the face.
Fees
With vaccine availability on the rise and pandemic regulations opening up, we believe Summer 2022 will be back to our traditional, free-range programming, without requiring advanced weekly reservations. We'll email all registered families if regulations change prior to summer.
Buy any number of Day Passes or a Summer Pass, and use them whenever you'd like during the summer. You don't even need to let us know when you plan to join–just show up! If for any reason your plans change, we'll refund your unused Passes automatically in-full at summer's end. We also offer need-based financial aid to qualifying families. Learn more or submit an application, here.
All fees include lunch, snacks and all hours 8:00am to 6:00pm.
