Steve & Kate's Camp

Steve & Kate's Camp

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s has put kids in charge of their own learning experience. They try, fail, and learn on their own. They learn to trust their own judgment and tackle the challenges of an ever-changing world with creativity and confidence. Campers choose minute to minute from a variety of activities including, sewing, stop-motion animation, music, sports & rec, makers crafts, bread making, and more. They'll decide what they want to do, and for how long.

 

This summer families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations are required–just show up! Or, if you need more care, purchase a Summer Pass, which covers the whole season. If for any reason your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end.

 

Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) are all included.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Kathryn O.

    I could not have asked for a better camp for my son. The staff was attentive and enthusiastic. There were tons of activities for him to choose from and I literally had to tear him away at pick up! 

     

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kelli K.

    This was Jack's second year back at the Manhattan Beach location and I feel like things really started to click for him in so many ways this summer. For a kid that is so focused on sports, I love that he was encouraged to explore other parts of who he is, all while being surrounded by supportive people that just wanted to see him have a good time. 

     

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maya

    I have an 8-year-old daughter who has been attending Steve and Kate’s for the past four summers. From the moment you check in until the moment you check out it’s such a smooth operation. The flexibility that this camp offers is amazing, but we keep returning for the innovative studios, the energetic counselors, and the one-of-a-kind model. When I describe Steve and Kate’s to others I often use the term "free-range kids”. My daughter loves that she can go where she wants when she wants, and for how long she wants. Whether it’s the sewing room or bread-making or robotics the kids have the freedom to decide. I really can't say enough good things about this camp!!
