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 any number of days and send your kid to camp any day you want? Check.
Drop the kiddos off and pick them up whenever you want? Yup.
Long camp hours, all included? Totally.
Tasty meals and snacks, also included? You bet.
Get an automatic refund for unused days at summer’s end? For sure.
As we get closer to summer, we’ll email registered families a link to our virtual, camp orientation. This will provide important information such as our local camp drop-off & pick-up procedures, how to check-in and check-out of camp each day, what to bring (and not bring), and a few more camp details.
Additional Required State Paperwork
Additional state-required paperwork must be submitted for every child before their first day of camp. Upon completion of registration, you will be emailed a link to complete the required forms online.

Colorado Water Restriction Notice

Activities
Choosing activities: the daily dilemma.
Coding. Sewing. Baking. Making. Sporting. Filming. 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. Either way, each day they face new experiences bristling with 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
Learn the craft of stop-motion animation as you create unique characters and stories to produce your own short films on our custom-built animation stages. Available within the Media Lab.
SEWING SALON
Discover or deepen your love for sewing with colorful custom fabric patterns and exciting sewing challenges. Use hand-sewing and machine sewing techniques to design and create garments, accessories, and other cloth creations!
CODING
Practice hands-on coding with our carefully selected iPad apps, designed for both early and advanced readers. These interactive programs gamify learning, making coding fun and accessible for all skill levels.

S&K TRADITIONS

SPORTS & REC
Run, jump, throw, kick, play. Get the go-kart experience or unleash with athletic equipment essentials chosen especially for your site’s unique fields and rec spaces. Team up with peers and staff to play classic sports and even make up new games!
WEEKLY SPECIALS
Jump into a new special experience every day! Whether it’s a new giant inflatable, a musical performance, a movement workshop, or a popup petting zoo, you can count on this boredom-busting daily activity to switch things up! We’ll announce our official 2026 specials lineup this spring.
WATER PLAY
There’s nothing like water play on a hot summer day! Stay cool with activities like water tag, inflatable slip n’ slides, and some giant sprinkler action. Wherever space, weather, and local water restrictions allow them, we bring it!
GAMEROOM & LOUNGE
Join friends for some get-your-wiggles-out fun playing tabletop games, building marble mazes and forts, or retreat to a quiet corner filled with satisfying sensory objects and a thoughtfully stocked bookshelf to engage all ages and interests.
At Steve & Kate’s, enough is never enough. So every week we supplement our main offering of 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. (It’s included.)
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.
Perhaps you are a grown-up who loves to plan. Or maybe you’re an expert of the fine art of logistical improvisation. Miraculously, our camp fees are designed to scratch both of your respective itches. Buy any number of Day Passes or a Summer Pass, and use them whenever you want during the summer. Don’t even bother to let us know when you’re coming — just roll up. If your plans change, don’t sweat it. We’ll automatically refund your unused Passes in full at summer’s end. How many other summer 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 8:00am – 6:00pm.
Fee includes lunch, snacks, activities and all hours 8:00am – 6:00pm.
Buy any number of Day Passes and use them any day at any open location.
Add more Day Passes to your account at any time.
All unused passes are automatically refunded back at the rate you paid, by September 18, 2026.
Fee includes lunch, snacks, activities and all hours 8:00am – 6:00pm.

All unused passes are automatically refunded back at the rate you paid, by September 18, 2026.
Fee includes lunch, snacks, activities and all hours 8:00am – 6:00pm.
One fee covers the entire summer–That’s up to 49 days of camp in Denver – Curtis Park!
If you purchase a Summer Pass and use less than 30 days of camp, we’ll calculate what you would have paid at the 15-Day Pass rate and refund you the difference automatically by September 18, 2026.
These people are very smart. You should listen to them.
I really like that you've carved out something truly unique - a completely low-stress experience for parents. No pre-planning, no need to make lunch, no need to decide which days to attend, automatic refunds. It took some stress out of planning our summer.

Even though there are so many kids, she was able to put a personal touch to it by remembering every kid’s name, being open to suggestions as well as remembering to remind my 4 year old daughter to go to the bathroom! My daughter had so much fun making a dress for her bear, making bread, dancing, playing with the weekly specials and the list goes on and on.

It's great to pick up your kid from camp with a smile and excited about the day they spent doing various activities. Staff was wonderful and not having to think about food was such a relief.

Staff
Our dedicated camp team.
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.
Events
