Steve & Kate's Camp operates its Encinitas summer session at The Grauer School on South El Camino Real, serving children ages four through 12 with a self-directed activity model the brand has run since 1980 across more than 90 national locations. Campers choose their own schedule in real time from rotating stations—sewing, stop-motion animation, coding, baking, maker crafts, water play, and field sports—rather than following a fixed weekly track, a format that builds the same decision-making autonomy practiced in the organized league play at Cardiff Sports Park. The flexible pass system lets families purchase individual days or a full Summer Pass and use them on any operating date without advance weekly reservations, with automatic refunds for unused days issued after the season ends. All meals, snacks, and the full-day window from drop-off through pickup are included in the single pass fee, eliminating add-on charges for extended care or lunch service. North County families splitting summer enrichment between camp weeks and ocean-skills training coordinate surf-lesson blocks at Leucadia Surf School during off-camp weeks to fill the June–through–August calendar. The coding and stop-motion animation labs use tablet-based production workflows where campers storyboard, shoot, and edit their own short films within a single session cycle, producing a shareable digital asset by end of day.
