Steve Camp has called San Clemente home for over two decades, raising his family in the community he loves and building a career dedicated to shaping great places. As the founder of a successful architecture firm in South Orange County, Steve brings 36 years of professional experience in design, planning, and project management to his civic service.
Steve's deep commitment to San Clemente is reflected in his extensive volunteer service. He has served 4.5 years on the San Clemente Planning Commission and 4.5 years on the Design Review Subcommittee, helping guide thoughtful development that preserves our city's unique coastal character.
Whether he's surfing at T-Street, walking the pier with his wife, or working with fellow commissioners on land-use policy, Steve is driven by a simple belief: San Clemente deserves leaders who listen, lead with integrity, and put residents first.
