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, as a kind of training ground for life where they are empowered, independent, resilient, and responsible for their own decisions. The program notes that campers choose their own activities and plan their own days, and that parents can buy any number of day passes, attend camp any time, and get automatic refunds for unused passes. Long camp hours, meals, and snacks are included, and additional state-required paperwork must be submitted for every child before their first day of camp. Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating since 1980 and has more than 90 locations, and this site includes a Mentorship Program for ages 14–15 in 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 a Mentorship Summer Pass is used less than 30 days, the difference versus the daily rate is automatically refunded. On the last day of camp there is a Carnival Day with carnival games, extra treats, and chances to win prizes, and as it gets closer to summer, registered families receive a virtual camp orientation link with information including what to bring and not bring.
The camp lists Daniella as the Director. Trevor Day School, where the camp takes place, is ADA-accessible.
Testimonials about Steve & Kate’s Camp include comments from Andrew Stanton, Director of WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory, who says that children at the camp blossom and discover a freedom of identity and that kids find their thumbprint there, as well as coverage from Apple’s Hot News stating that if kids ruled the world, it might look something like Steve & Kate’s Camp. Variety magazine notes that Steve & Kate’s Camp did not set out to cater to children of people at Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic but that many attend given the camp’s philosophy. The Washington Post describes Steve & Kate’s Camp as a blend of traditional camp with a modern, tech-savvy touch, with a laid-back aura and Silicon Valley-inspired approaches to programming and payment, and the Chicago Tribune states that working parents’ worries dissipate as they contemplate Steve & Kate’s model.
