The camp includes a Media Lab with film, coding, robotics, virtual reality, and interactive art apps, as well as a Tinker Lab with arts and crafts, custom maker packs, and 3D pens. Weekly specials may feature a yoga workshop, Tiki Island Slide, Scales and Tails Animal Show, inflatable bounce house, giant inflatable obstacle course, and other inflatables and animal or spider education programs. For the Tiki Island Slide weekly special, campers should bring a swimsuit, towel, and water shoes or sandals to participate. The program includes tasty meals and snacks, has long camp hours from 8:00am to 6:00pm, and does not offer outdoor activities, including water activities.
Steve & Kate’s Camp offers summer day camps for kids aged 4–12 and requires that campers be fully toilet trained, able to speak up for their needs, and able to get through the camp day without a nap. Families 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. There are no additional fees, and all-inclusive rates cover all camp hours, snacks, lunch, and activities, with automatic full refunds for unused purchased Day Passes and partial refunds for underused Summer Passes at summer’s end. As it gets closer to summer, registered families receive a link to a virtual camp orientation that includes what to bring and not bring.
Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating since 1980 and now has more than 90 locations. The DC - Penn Quarter camp is directed by Adele. Steve & Kate’s Camp was created to let kids be in charge of their choices and to allow parents to buy any number of day passes, attend any time, and receive automatic refunds for unused passes. Girls Global Academy serves as the host school for this camp and is ADA accessible.
The camp’s mission states that during summer, it gives kids freedom to expand and evolve by allowing campers 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 kind of training ground for life. Testimonials describe the camp as a place where children “blossom and discover a freedom of identity,” compare it to what the world might look like “if kids ruled the world,” and note that many children of people working at Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic attend. Other media quotes describe the camp as blending traditional camp with a modern, tech-focused approach and note that its model can ease working parents’ worries.
