Steve & Kate's Camp offers unparalleled flexibility with day passes and automatic refunds for unused days, empowering children to choose their own activities and schedule in real-time.
Steve & Kate's Camp Austin offers a unique summer day camp experience for children aged 4-12, focusing on self-directed play and fostering independence. Campers have the freedom to choose their own activities in real-time, allowing them to explore their interests and develop new skills at their own pace. The camp provides a wide array of activities including robotics, coding, stop-motion animation, filmmaking, sewing and textile projects, maker crafts, baking, music, dance, karaoke, and various sports and outdoor games. This child-led model encourages creativity, builds confidence, resiliency, and decision-making skills as children learn to trust their own judgment and make choices. The camp aims to create a safe, judgment-free environment where kids can be themselves, explore passions, and even make mistakes along the way.
Beyond the core activities, the camp also incorporates weekly specials such as giant inflatables, musical performances, movement workshops, and popup petting zoos, where space and weather permit. These additions ensure a dynamic and engaging experience, preventing boredom and offering new opportunities for exploration. The program emphasizes a balance of structured and unstructured play, which child development experts suggest is crucial for developing creativity, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Campers are encouraged to dive deep into one or two activities or try a mix of many, leading to new experiences and the development of personal responsibility.
Campers arrive between 8am and 6pm and choose from a variety of activities like coding, baking, sports, and arts, designing their own schedule for the day, with lunch and snacks included.
The camp is best for children who thrive in an environment where they can make their own choices, explore diverse activities, and develop independence and confidence through self-directed play.
