About Steve & Kate's Camp:

Our Camp conforms to kids, not the other way around. Instead of a rigid structure, we give our campers choice. Instead of teaching kids the typical way, we give them tools and gentle guidance to help them become autodidacts, people who teach themselves. The difference is subtle–and it’s profound.

Nestled within camp are six mighty art and technology studios.  Our studios house activities that provide children the opportunity to create something, be surrounded by specialized tools or equipment, and explore without limits.  We let campers to to the studios they're drawn to, because we realize when they decide what they want to do, they do it better.  Use your passes whenever you want throughout the summer.  You don't even need to tell us when you're coming.  Everything is included - lunch, all hours 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and materials.  

Go with the flow” is our middle name. Just kidding, it’s “And”

We don’t expect you to know when or what time you can get your troops to camp. You are Moms and Dads, not psychics for crying out loud. We get it. That’s why our policy is as flexible as you need it to be. You can buy a whole summer membership or you can purchase as many day passes as you want. Use the passes whenever. Didn’t use them? No sweat. We’ll give you a full refund for unused passes. And best of all, you don’t even have to tell us when you’re coming. Ta-da. Camp just got easier.

When we say all-inclusive, we mean all-inclusive.

We don’t believe in that whole “batteries not included" jazz. Once you pay for camp, we include everything needed between the hours of 7:30am to 6:00pm. That means we’ll make sure your little camper is eating like a…a …a champ-er? Anyway, lunch is designed by three esteemed top chefs and snacks are provided throughout the day. Any and all materials your child needs to get the full camp experience are taken care of. And all activities are open to every camper. So, as long as you remember to bring your favorite kids, we’ll bring the rest.

You can attend any location anytime

Your Day Passes and Memberships are good at any location. You can buy any number of Day Passes, use them whenever you want, and get an automatic refund for unused passes. If you need the whole summer, we’ve got a membership too. You don’t even need to tell us when you’re coming.

About the Founders: Confessions of obsessive camp producers

We’ve been around for 34 years, so a lot of you know a little something about Steve & Kate’s. Still, there’s one thing we think you should know. Despite our success, we think this place could be A LOT better. Sure, we introduced individualized learning in a summer camp setting. We pioneered flexible enrollment and automatic refunds. Integrated a custom food PROGRAM designed by expert chefs. Implemented technology so aggressively that Apple Computer featured us on their web site. That’s pretty cool. Still, we’re hardly kicking back resting on our laurels. Summer rolls around fast. We only have nine short months to completely reinvent the entire concept of summer camp for the modern era. Gotta run. –Steve, Kate and Oz
