Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating since 1980. The Mar Vista camp is led by a director named Molly. The camp’s mission states that during summer, it gives kids freedom to choose which activities they do, whom they do them with, and for how long, and describes this experience as both pure joy for kids and a training ground for life where they are empowered, independent, resilient, and responsible for their own decisions. The camp’s philosophy emphasizes empowering kids to make their own choices and be their own bosses.
Parents can buy any number of days and send their child to camp on any day within the season, with drop-off and pick-up allowed at any time during camp hours, and long camp hours included in the camp fee. Meals and snacks are included, unused day passes are automatically refunded at summer’s end, and registered families receive a virtual camp orientation before summer with information on what to bring and not bring. For Slip N Slide participation, campers are asked to bring a labeled swimsuit, towel, and water shoes or sandals.
A Mentorship Program for ages 14–15 is offered at this camp location for Summer 2026, where mentees help facilitate camp activities, engage with campers, and encourage camper connection and participation. Unused Mentorship Day Passes are automatically refunded in full at summer’s end, and if fewer than 30 days are used on a Mentorship Summer Pass, the difference from the daily rate is automatically refunded.
Citizens of the World Charter School Mar Vista is the host school for the camp, and families can learn more about the host school at www.cwcmarvista.org/. Testimonials about Steve & Kate’s Camp include comments from Andrew Stanton, Apple’s Hot News, Variety magazine, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune.
