Steve & Kate’s Camp states that all year long kids are in rigid structure, and that in summer the camp gives them freedom to expand and evolve, with campers choosing which activities they do, whom they do them with, and for how long. Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating this way since 1980. The camp’s leadership at this site includes a Director named Hannah.
The program includes Steve & Kate’s traditions such as Find Chuckie (a rubber chicken) and Friday Pie-Day, as well as weekly specials that can include giant inflatables, musical performances, movement workshops, and popup petting zoos. Slip n' Slide is offered Monday–Thursday during specified weeks, weather permitting, and for this activity campers should bring a labeled swimsuit, towel, and water shoes or sandals. Long camp hours, meals, and snacks are included in the camp fee, and families can buy any number of days and send their child on any camp day, with drop-off and pick-up allowed at any time within camp hours. Any unused days are automatically refunded at summer’s end.
The Mentorship Program is intended exclusively for children ages 14–15, and mentees help facilitate camp activities, engage with campers, and encourage camper connection and participation. The Mentorship Program uses self-directed learning, and mentees must attend the specific camp location they apply for. Any 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.

Testimonials about Steve & Kate’s Camp include comments from Andrew Stanton, Director of WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory, as well as coverage from Apple’s Hot News, Variety magazine, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune.
