A Camp Where Kids Call the Shots
Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s Camp has been reinventing the camp experience with a child-driven model that encourages independence, creativity, and self-reliance. Instead of following a set schedule, kids get to explore their interests at their own pace, making every day an adventure.
Flexible & Stress-Free for Parents
One of the biggest draws for parents is the camp’s ultimate flexibility. You can purchase day passes or a full summer pass, so there’s no need to commit to an entire week or month.
Another major perk? Everything is included in one price—lunch, snacks, and all activities. No hidden fees, no extra costs—just a simple, stress-free summer experience.
A Wide Variety of Activities to Explore
At Steve & Kate’s, campers aren’t assigned activities—they choose what excites them every day! Whether your child loves technology, art, or sports, there’s something for everyone.
- Creative Arts – Sewing, stop-motion animation, and maker crafts let kids bring their creative ideas to life.
- Technology & Coding – Budding tech enthusiasts can dive into programming and game design.
- Culinary Arts – Hands-on baking sessions let kids explore their inner chef.
- Sports & Recreation – Fun, engaging activities to keep kids active and moving.
- Music & Performance – Kids can explore music and performance in a relaxed, creative setting.
This variety keeps kids engaged and excited to come back every day!
