Steve and Kate’s Camp – Valley Village

My daughter loved this camp. She had freedom to do what moved her at almost any given moment in the day. She learned to knit, she made movies, she climbed a rock wall, she did sports, she baked bread. The staff were attentive, fun and very accommodating. I work full time and my daughter has done every camp in the area and this one is by far her favorite day camp. We will be returning this year for the 3^rd summer!

Finally a summer camp that has made my summer and My daughters summer SO fun & easy! Steve & Kate’s offers everything you could possibly want in a camp, no packing lunch or snacks (unless you want to) they even provide the sunscreen! There is no set time that you have to be there, it’s come as you like but in case you work you can drop off as early as 7:30, pick up is at 6:00. And my personal favorite is the iced coffee they offer parents every morning! There are so many different activities for your kids to try, they won’t be bored, I promise! Kevin the director really does an amazing job, he gets to know all the kids and they love him! All the counsellors are great, this is the ONLY camp that my daughter has ever said she wants me to pick her up when it closes! It’s also the first camp she wants to go to this summer, we can’t wait! Thanks Steve & Kate

This year, we had our first summer at Steve and Kate’s Camp, and it was great! Our 5 year old loved it, and so did we. Wonderful leader, Kevin and counselors. Great weekly specials, and daily activities. We felt welcome and included every day.
Our daughter baked bread (which I personally truly enjoyed), she made/​starred in movies & sewed pillows/​clothes, among many other things. The weekly specials were awesome — water slides, scooters, giant «hamster ball» thingees, laser tag, rock wall, etc.
Steve & Kates feeds them, too! Great, interesting meals to expand their palates, and healthy snacks through the day. No problem, if you need to bring your own lunch instead.
6 weeks later, our daughter still talks about Steve & Kates all the time, she mentions all of her counselors by name, and misses them so much! We will definitely be back next year!
Thanks, guys!

I never really leave reviews, but I had to share the amazingness of this camp with other parents. I can’t believe that such a great place exists, one that provides kids with the most amazing summer experience, while letting parents have the piece of mind that their kids are safe and well taken care of. Let’s start with the fact that the camp is Montessori style, allowing kids to pick what they want to do throughout the day. And how much there is to do daily is seriously mind blowing — studios to bake bread and pizza, make clothes, make movies, make music, coding, outside activities such as sports, playground, water activities, etc. Every week, instead of taking kids to a field trip, they bring it to them — this summer we had a Lego truck, water maze, electric scooters, you name it! They even shoot movies with the kids that are interested, and then share all this with parents on the website!!!
I had sent my son to other camps, only to pick him up not knowing what happened throughout the day. The manager/​owner, Kevin, is front and center during each drop off and pick up, answering questions and giving updates. He goes so far as to give out his personal cellphone and email!!! The counselors are always on hand, always smiling, and visibly happy to be there. They even have iced coffee available for parents in the morning!
I really couldn’t believe that I was able to provide such an amazing experience for my son this summer. I am bummed that summer is over, and can’t wait to go back! Thanks Steve & Kates!!!

I really don’t understand it. How can a camp like this have only one review? There are about 150 to 200 kids at the camp at all times having an amazing time making so much noise and completely gleeful at the same time, and nobody’s parent commented? Well, here goes…
I started out looking for a camp that was well run, painless to all parties, and wouldn’t break the bank. I found all of this and more at Steve and Kate’s camp. I attended an informational coffee before enrolling and met Kevin Kahn. As it turns out, he is the director of the Valley Village location and is involved with the running of multiple other sites. He took a real interest in our family and was very helpful in answering all questions regarding camp. After now completing over a month of camp, the kids are back at school with wonderful memories of their summer. I couldn’t have been happier with the staff and the activities that were provided for the children. Of note, Rita and Gabby were amazing as was Kevin Bosman, Kevin Becker, and Sarah the baker.
I highly recommend this camp for all parents looking for a safe and fun option for their kids during the summer. There’s even iced coffee at drop off :-). I really wish there was a way to give this place more than five stars!

For anyone who is overwhelmed with all the summer scheduling, selecting which week you want this camp, and oh no it overlaps with that camp, wait we’re on vacation during half of that camp week!!! Sound familiar??? Steve and Kate’s camp is a one stop, drop off, whenever you want kind of camp. These guys let you make your own schedule. Sign up for a day, a week, or whatever you feel like. And get this, they will refund you at the end of the summer for any unused days. Yes, believe it cause it’s true. At the end of last summer I received a check from them. No wasted days or money here. So enough with the amazing flexibility. Let’s get to the amazing staff. Kevin is the man in charge at the Valley Village location. He is always welcoming and interacting with the kids. He knows ALL the kids names and always has a smile on his face. They offer so many different activities like cooking, sewing, music, dance, and animation. This camp is as good as it gets. My kids have been at Steve and Kate’s the last 2 summers and this will be our 3^rd.
