Sending kids to day camp is one of the best ways to give them a summer full of fun, growth, and unforgettable memories. Day camp provides a unique opportunity for children to build confidence, make new friends, and explore their interests in a safe and supportive environment where they can go home at the end of the day. Whether they’re trying something new or deepening a passion they already love, the day camp experience is about more than just filling the days—it’s about fostering independence, creativity, and resilience. It’s a summer adventure that kids will carry with them long after the season ends.
Summer in Brooklyn is a time for exploration, creativity, and connection, and the borough’s day camps reflect just that. These programs offer kids a chance to have fun, make friends, and enjoy all the best parts of summer, right in their own neighborhood.

Since 1980 Steve & Kate’s Camp has trusted kids to choose their own activities and plan their own days in real-time. Whether campers are designing, building, coding, creating, baking, dancing, playing, eating, sewing, skipping—it’s all on their own schedule. When you empower children to make their own choices and be their own bosses, they discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity–all while learning to make course corrections and trust themselves as they go. Families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations or commitments required–just show up! If for any reason your plans change, the camp will automatically refund any unused passes in full at summer’s end. Open to ages 4-12. Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) are included.
