This camp is incredible! My children (ages 9 & 5) liked that they could choose the activities they…read morewanted to participate in throughout the day. They especially enjoyed the sewing and baking rooms where staff could assist them in these experiences. My kids also liked the special activities for different days that were in addition to the activity rooms. They had a blast with the go karts and thought the reptile and birds special presentation was really neat. My son was thrilled to participate in some sort of game show-like competition where he was proud to win this multi-colored poop emoji hat. I like this camp because it's convenient for parents. All I need to do is send my kids with a water bottle; I don't have to pack snacks, lunch, or even sunscreen since it's provided. I appreciate that I can sign them up the day of camp and I don't need to plan ahead. I also appreciate the long hours of the full-day camp, but I can pick up my kids whenever it's convenient to me. I've always experienced prompt staff interaction with pick-up and drop-off. Lastly, the staff at the Manhattan Beach location were friendly and professional. Rachel, the camp director, runs an organized camp, responds to email quickly, and is very welcoming. Grand View is an ideal location to have Steve and Kate's Camp due to its ample space. We hope it's there next summer too because we'd all enjoy to go back!

I wish I could give no stars. My kids went and came home very upset, frustrated , and disappointed…read more All they did was wait in line all day for activities that they never even got to do. They allow more kids than they can manage to attend. My daughter didn't even get a second snack because the line for snack was too long. When I complained to the director, I was basically told that it was my kids fault that they didn't get to do any of the activities, as kids choose what they want to do. I will not be sending my kids to this camp ever again and I am telling my nieces and nephews, who were scheduled to go next week, to cancel.

They stole my money and money if other family and friends. It's so sad they can do this and continue as nothing happened.

I can provide proof of payment and the other information is available as public records. Let me know if you need proof.

Caring staff, engaging projects and silly songs - something about a rubber chicken. It has been about 6 months since Camp and we are saving up for next summer so the boys can return. The South Pas site has a shaded playground which was an added bonus. I also really appreciated the customer service representatives. Since it was our first time, I called a number of times asking all sorts of questions and they were able to respond quickly and professionally. We signed up during the Memorial Day first time camper promo and also got refer-a-friend credit which was a plus.

My daughter is a huge fan so I am, too! This is a costly camp with no fancy bells or whistles…read more(LAUSD location, no celebrity chef food/menu - yes, I'm referring to Steve & Kate's) but my daughter really enjoyed it. I was wary because her interests are mostly art and music but she really loved learning Minecraft, and interacting with the other students and staff. Very cute that they post photos and video blogs at the end of each day. Your child receives a nice thick cotton Planet Bravo t-shirt (nice advertising). Minus one star for the crappy afternoon snacks (the only provisions included with your tuition) of Capri Suns and chips. C'mon, Planet Bravo, you can definitely improve this. Also another minus- the last day (Friday) ends early for a wrap-up, awards ceremony. As a working parent, it's hard to swallow the expense of a camp when they close/wrap-up early. I felt like the students could have that hour for instruction/activity.

I now have 3 boys that have all gone to Planet Bravo. The older ones started out at the location…read morenear UCLA (because that was the only one then). My youngest one just finished his 2nd year at the Santa Monica location. He is going into 7th grade and would like to do Planet Bravo for the whole summer. What is their biggest strength? Their awesome counselors. And that is what is most important. They are both able to teach the kids and able to play with them and they are silly and goofy and everything that is wonderful about being a kid and loving to learn. As a woman, I respect (admire, love) that they hire many women and have lots of young girls who go to this camp. Let's see what else do I love: They post pictures and videos each day of camp. My kid watches these, cracks up and makes me watch them with him. Even if your kid doesn't go, you should look at these (try the Santa Monica location from the year 2013). So it's not for me (the parent) that they post these videos, it's for the kids. Now I will compare it with one of those "fancier" techno camps. When my oldest son aged out of PB, he and his brother went to ID Tech Camp at UCLA. It definitely has its good points, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't compare to Planet Bravo for the age group that PB serves. I wish PB would design a camp for older kids, too. My oldest son is now studying computer science at college, (disclaimer: he worked as a PB counselor for one summer), and has a fantastic internship this summer in Seattle. I think that his love for this field (and knowing it was a good match for him) was fostered during his early years at PB.
