School Breaks Solved with Steve & Kate's Camp

Since 1980 Steve & Kate’s has put kids in charge of their own learning experience at camp. Kids choose from a variety of activities in real-time, including sewing, stop-motion animation, coding, building, sports, & more. Kids will choose what activities they want to participate in and for how long–designing their day as they go.

There’s plenty of perks for parents, too. Families can reserve any number of days–no weekly sessions or commitments required! You don’t even need to tell us when you’re coming–just show up! Lunch, snacks, & all hours (8am–6pm) included daily.

Ways To Join Camp

With 50+ locations across the US, we’re probably near you. Check out our summer camp locations to see what activities and specials are coming to camp near you.

Camp shouldn’t have an off-season. See our upcoming fall, winter, spring, & school break camp locations, here.

Does your employer offer back-up care through Bright Horizons? If so, you can use those benefits at camp! You can even apply the full value of your back-up care days to the cost of a Summer Pass—which covers all days we’re open in summer. Learn more, here.

Kind Words About Our Camps

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

"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

"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

"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
