Steve & Kate’s Camp was created as a summer camp in 1980. The Minneapolis camp is led by a director named Natalie. The program states that, at Steve & Kate’s, campers choose which activities they do, whom they do it with, and for how long, and that the camp model emphasizes kids being empowered, independent, resilient, and responsible for their own decisions. The camp notes that parents can buy any number of days and send their child to camp on any day within the season, drop-off and pick-up can be at any time within camp hours, long camp hours are included, tasty meals and snacks are included, and unused days are automatically refunded at summer’s end. Milk and sides are provided to the youngest campers and are available by request for older campers, Nutrigrain Granola Bars are available as a high wheat morning snack, and Minnesota state licensing requires that staff ensure children receive the USDA requirements each day.
The camp offers a Mentorship Program intended exclusively for children ages 14–15 at this location for Summer 2026, where mentees help facilitate camp activities, engage with campers, and help encourage camper connection and participation. Mentees must attend the camp location they apply for, unused Mentorship Day Passes are automatically refunded in full at summer’s end, and if a Mentorship Summer Pass is purchased and less than 30 days of camp are used, the difference compared to the daily rate is automatically refunded. Campers participate in Steve & Kate’s traditions such as Find Chuckie and Friday Pie-Day, and weekly specials can include giant inflatables, musical performances, movement workshops, and popup petting zoos, with an Inflatable Bounce House scheduled as a weekly special for Jun 15–19, Monday–Thursday.
The venue is described as ADA-accessible. As it gets closer to summer, registered families are emailed a link to a virtual camp orientation with information such as local camp drop-off and pick-up procedures, how to check in and out each day, what to bring and not bring, and other camp details, and additional state-required paperwork must be submitted for every child before their first day of camp via an online link sent after registration.
Testimonials about Steve & Kate’s Camp include comments from Andrew Stanton, director of WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory, and coverage from Apple’s Hot News, Variety magazine, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune.
