About
Steve & Kate's Camp offers flexible day camp options where campers choose their own activities and plan their own days. Parents can buy day passes to use on any camp day, or purchase a Summer Pass for unlimited use, and can drop off and pick up at any time during camp hours. All-inclusive rates cover all camp hours, snacks, lunch, and any activities that interest the child, with no additional or surprise fees.
• Ages: 4–13 years old
• Schedule: Long camp hours from 8am–6pm, with all camp hours included in the camp fee
• Price: Parents can buy any number of days, buy a Summer Pass for unlimited use, and receive automatic full refunds for unused purchased Day Passes or partial refunds if a Summer Pass is underused
Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating since 1980. Camp generally accepts children aged 4 to 13 years old, and if a camper turns 14 while attending summer camp, they may finish out the summer. All campers must be fully toilet trained, able to speak up for their needs, and able to get through the camp day without a nap. Steve & Kate's Camp also offers mentorship programs for children aged 14 and 15, and no paperwork is required for age verification during registration. Parents receive a Virtual Orientation link before camp starts. Steve & Kate’s Camp runs summer day camps and holiday camps for fall, winter, spring, and school breaks for kids ages 4–12, with age requirements that may be slightly higher in some states. There are more than 70–90 locations from Manhattan to Manhattan Beach. The leadership team includes founders Steve Susskind and Kate Susskind, along with Mike and Kevin, who both serve as VPs.
The camp’s stated mission is to celebrate the individual by enabling campers to express themselves freely, while staff cheer them on, and to show campers what can be done. Andrew Stanton, Director of WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory, has described children at Steve & Kate’s as discovering “a freedom of identity” and “their thumbprint” at camp. Apple’s Hot News has written that “If kids ruled the world, it might look something like Steve and Kate’s Camp.” Variety magazine has noted that many children of people working at Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic attend, and The Washington Post has described Steve & Kate’s as combining a traditional camp experience with a modern, tech-focused approach. The Chicago Tribune has written that “Working parents’ worries dissipate as they contemplate Steve & Kate’s model.”
