| My 9 year old is going for 3 days this year in Alexandria (has gone 1 so far), she went for a few days last year as well. I truly hope they expand into N. Arlington, Falls Church, or Mclean next year - she'd be going all the time next year - she loves it. |

| Whats is the deal with changing locations every year? Will they be in these spots for good now? |

| My DD is enjoying it, she says Steve and Kate's is great! She has made brad, videos, and played a lot outside. She doesn't like all the food but I love not having to make lunch. And so great that you can add on days whenever you want. |

| We checked out the Alexandria location. For younger kids, it seems great. I did think their indoor spaces were pretty cramped for the number of kids they have but overall it seemed like a very good option at least for kids under 8. |

| Reviving this thread as I am starting the hunt for camps for my 7YO for this summer. We are camp newbies - so are a bit overwhelmed. I'm wondering if anyone has done both Steve and Kate's in Alexandria and the general summerfun camp at St. Stephens and St. Agnes. How do they compare? Thanks! |

| how do these camps work? I don't understand how you just how you just show up the day you want to. how do they staff for this? Don't they have to maintain certain ratios? |

| The alexandrua location was too crowded last year. We went for the coding studio and my kids never got in the room!! |

I seem to recall they said they had core staff and then if they needed extra they had on call staff. Staffing ratios for school age kids is higher - something like 20 kids to 1 adult also. |

Did a specialized camp at St. Stephens before and did a couple days at Steve and Kates -my child was 10. St. Stephens was less kids, less chaotic, and of course since it was specialized it had a main focus for the camp for the week. Steve and Kate's was ok but better for younger kids then older - I think 8 yrs old would be the max. It was more crowded in activities and a bit more chaotic but there was always a choice to go outside. they limit the rooms the camp can use. Also, the activities were kind of set per room and my child kind of got bored with them - again likely her age. |

My five year old went 10 days last summer and loved it. (Also went to Sidwell/Burgundy Farms camps)
No friends were with DC but new ones were made, counsellors were attentive and the freedom to choose activities was key. We will return! |
