Steve & Kate's Camp, a San Francisco-based summer camp program founded in 1980, is expanding to 85 locations nationwide this year, including 5 in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. The camp offers a flexible, child-led experience where kids can choose from a variety of activities like stop-motion animation, coding, sewing, and more, with no weekly session commitments required for parents.

Why it matters

As summer planning becomes increasingly challenging for families, Steve & Kate's Camp provides a unique solution with its flexible day-pass system and child-centered approach that allows kids to explore their interests and build confidence.

The details

Steve & Kate's Camp was founded on the belief that trusting children helps them develop self-confidence and the ability to trust their own judgment. The camp provides an enriching environment where children can freely express themselves and feel included and safe. Counselors advocate for and celebrate children discovering and expressing their true selves. The camp's flexible day-pass system allows families to use their passes any day during the summer without advanced notice, and unused days are automatically refunded at the end of the season.
