Steve & Kate’s Camp was created in 1980. The camp’s mission states that during summer, it gives kids freedom to expand and evolve by letting campers choose which activities they do, whom they do them with, and for how long, and describes this experience as both pure joy and a kind of training ground for life where they are empowered, independent, resilient, and responsible for their own decisions. The program notes that families can buy any number of days and send their child on any camp day, drop off and pick up at any time within camp hours, and that long camp hours are included. Meals and snacks are included, with cuisine that features rotating specials, partnerships with fan favorite restaurants, and healthy snacks and sides available whenever kids need them, and campers can grab snacks and sides whenever their “fuel gauge” dips into the red. The camp offers automatic refunds for unused days at the end of summer and has Youngest Camper Support Staff dedicated to supporting the youngest campers. Weekly specials change daily, and the last day of camp is a Carnival Day with a giant end-of-summer celebration, carnival games, extra treats, and chances to win prizes. St. Francis School serves as the host school for the Austin - North summer camp and is ADA accessible. As it gets closer to summer, registered families receive a virtual camp orientation with information about what to bring and not bring.
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. Apple’s Hot News states that if kids ruled the world, it might look something like Steve & Kate’s Camp. Variety magazine notes that, given the camp’s philosophy, it is not surprising that many children of people at Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic attend. The Washington Post describes Steve & Kate’s Camp as a blend of traditional camp experience with a modern, tech-savvy touch, with a laid-back aura and innovative approaches to programming and payment. The Chicago Tribune states that working parents’ worries dissipate as they contemplate Steve & Kate’s model.
