About Camp Ketcha

Summer camp is a unique experience that cannot be found in any other classroom. Opening and closing circle is just a hint of the wonderful world of summer camp that families can experience. From building fairy houses to using a curry comb on a horse, the activities that campers can participate in are diverse and exciting. Beyond the exciting activities, campers and counselors return year after year to experience the magic moments that are found at camp. Whether it’s playing flashlight tag on an overnight, swimming in the pool, or climbing the tire on the vertical playground, the memories made at camp are cherished and often shared.

Traditional Camp

Our co-ed Traditional Camp is designed to provide fun and growth through a series of exciting experiences in a beautiful setting. We offer a range of activities from climbing on our challenge course to learning about ground cherries in our organic garden. Campers rotate with their group throughout the many activities we have at Ketcha over the course of the week. We also have ‘free-time’ set aside on our schedules for all camp activities & old camp favorite games like ‘kick-the-can.’

Chickadees (Ages 3-4)

The Chickadee program is for our littlest campers ages 3 and 4. Tucked away from the crowd the Chickadees are based out of our ice house on the far side of Ketcha. The ice house is a cozy cabin renovated to accommodate our preschoolers set in an expansive forest play space. Chickadees follow a day typical of our popular school year pre-k program. Nature-based themes and activities, stories, games, crafts, and daily circle time. There is abundant open playtime for exploring and learning in the woods, the garden, at the farm, and hiking the trails. Chickadees have swim time in the pond and water playtime throughout the day. To attend children need to be out of diapers and able to follow safety rules.

Specialty camps are a wonderful way to experience Ketcha! Our specialty camps include many of the same activities as our traditional camps. They will travel with their group to our various program areas over the course of the week. Each specialty camp is tailored and designed around unique interests. Groups are split by age into Mini (5-6 yr), Junior (7-9 yr) and Senior (10-14 yr).
