FAQ
1. Are all of the activities the same at all locations?
Our program is virtually identical from location to location. The indoor activities are the exactly the same and there are only minor differences in the outdoor activities depending on the physical layout of each school campus. At the warmer sites, we do offer water activities more often. Our little San Franciscans don't seem to miss getting wet.
2. How do you know everyone won't show up on the same day?
Steve, our in-house human calculator, has developed a proprietary system to accurately predict our average daily attendance. We build a cushion into our projections to ensure that we have more than enough staff and equipment on hand. In 30 years, Steve has never been wrong.
3. When does my child choose their activities?
Campers are free to choose their activities throughout the day, literally on a minute-to-minute basis. We have counselors supervising all of the common areas at camp, so campers can move freely and safely between the activities. Campers get support in choosing activities from their Huddles™, the Camp Concierge, and the rest of the staff. Camp is like an ant colony, everyone always knows exactly where they're going.
4. What are Huddles?
We're building communities with the Huddle™. The idea is simple - kids gather several times a day in small groups with the same counselor to chat, meet friends and receive announcements. As a result, kids feel connected and supported by their peers and counselors while having the freedom Steve and Kate's is known for.
5. Do you offer field trips?
For safety and security, all of the activities we offer are on-site. We prefer to bring in the action with our Weekly and Daily Specials. Weekly specials include bathtub racer go carts, bumper cars, climbing walls and more. Daily specials are everything from a mural painting workshop to a Big-Cat show featuring a King Cheetah.
6. Do I need to tell you the specific dates I want to use?
Nope. If you have at least one prepaid day in you account per child, you are guaranteed the space at camp and can show up whenever it works for you. It's been this way for all 30 years of camp.
