Summer planning doesn’t have to be stressful. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed choosing activities, working around vacations, or locking into weekly sessions months in advance, Steve & Kate’s Camp was built for you.

With locations across the country — including on the Main Line in Paoli at Delaware Valley Friends School — Steve & Kate’s makes it easy to give your child an incredible summer without the scheduling headaches.

What Makes Steve & Kate’s Camp Different

At Steve & Kate’s, kids don’t follow a set schedule — they create one. Campers choose from a rotating menu of activities in real time, including stop-motion animation, coding, sewing, baking, maker crafts, and recreation. No two days look the same, and that’s exactly the point.

Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1980, Steve & Kate’s has grown to more than 85 locations nationwide. Over more than four decades, their core philosophy has never changed: believing in kids lets them build their self-confidence and teaches them to trust their own judgment.

A Camp Built on Confidence and Self-Expression

Steve & Kate’s Camp believes in creating an enriching environment and providing a space where children feel included and safe. Counselors don’t just support campers — they celebrate each child discovering and expressing their true self. 

The result is a community where kids are encouraged and free to take creative risks, try new things, and develop the confidence to tackle an ever-changing world.

Flexible Scheduling That Works for Real Families

Here’s where Steve & Kate’s really stands out for Main Line families: there are no weekly session commitments.

Parents can purchase any number of day passes and use them whenever they’d like — no advance notice required. Need a few days here and a few days there, or to schedule around vacations and playdates? No problem. Prefer a flat fee that covers the whole summer? That works too.

And if your plans change? Steve & Kate’s automatically refunds any unused passes at the end of the season.
