Steve & Kate’s Camp offers summer day camps for kids aged 4–12 and also runs holiday camps for kids ages 4–12. Parents can buy any number of day passes, send their child to camp on any day, and receive automatic refunds for any unused passes at summer’s end.
The camp’s Mentorship Program is intended exclusively for children ages 14–15 at this camp location for Summer 2026. Mentees help facilitate camp activities, engage with campers, and help encourage camper connection and participation, and the Mentorship Program uses self-directed learning. Returning Mentees pay $0 for the Mentorship Program, any 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.
Steve & Kate’s traditions at this camp include Find Chuckie (a rubber chicken) and Friday Pie-Day. Weekly specials may include giant inflatables, a musical performance, a movement workshop, or a popup petting zoo. Low ropes at camp are used for campers to navigate obstacles together, and campers race and slide down a giant, inflatable slip ’n slide, weather permitting, and cruise around in kid-friendly electric or pedal go-karts with helmets provided.
Steve & Kate’s Camp states that when kids are empowered to make their own choices and be their own bosses, they discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity. Steve & Kate’s Camp has been operating in this way since 1980, and the Director at this camp is Abbey.
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 at Steve & Kate’s.” Apple’s Hot News states, “If kids ruled the world, it might look something like Steve and Kate’s Camp.” Variety magazine notes that Steve & Kate’s Camp did not specifically set out to cater to children of people at Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic, but that “given their philosophy, it’s no surprise so many attend.” The Washington Post describes Steve & Kate’s Camp as “a blend of that traditional camp experience combined with a modern, tech-savvy touch” with “innovative approaches to everything from programming to payment,” and the Chicago Tribune states that “working parents’ worries dissipate as they contemplate Steve & Kate’s model.”
