Chickens can demonstrate complex cause and effect, pass on their knowledge, demonstrate self-control, and even worry. Chickens can dream!

We love our chickens here at Ketcha and we all share time with them. They are used to many small hands and tend to come around when we are still and quiet. All of our chickens have names: Pickles, Sunshine, Freckles, Raven, Boo, Peaches, Peanut, Bessie Coleman and Billy.

Kids are invited to join art teacher and Ketcha staff alum Laura Luchetti in an afternoon of painting. Each child will receive a blank canvas and will follow Laura step-by-step as she guides them through how to create a predetermined work of art that she designed specifically for this event! Kids who are feeling adventurous are encouraged to put their own spin on their painting to make it unique to their personal style.

Popcorn or pretzel snacks will be provided. Participants will leave with their masterpieces and an inspired mind to keep them creating!

Fall Goat Hike! We had over 30 kiddos join us for

Fall Goat Hike! We had over 30 kiddos join us for a hike through the woods with Reeces and Dante. (Remi was not into the morning hour.) We walked through the ropes course, into the peanut butter pit and over the bridge. Several friends enjoyed holding the goat lead and spending time brushing the goats winter coats. Donuts, hot cider and a trip to the playground made for a brisk, fun day outside. We’re sure there were lots of naps later in the afternoon! Including the goats! @portlandgearhub
