That’s a wrap on Vacation Camp at Ketcha Outdoors!

Our last day was packed with adventure, survival campers built debris shelters, practiced fire-making skills, and learned how to thrive in the wild. Campers across all programs soaked up the sunshine, played endless rounds of Gaga, and made new friendships that we know will last.

We’re already counting down… just 8 weeks until Summer Camp begins, and there’s so much more in store. See you soon, campers!

Vacation Camp fun with Mr. Drew’s Animals!
Our campers got up close and personal with some amazing creatures thanks to a visit from Mr. Drew and His Animals Too! From slithering snakes to spiky lizards, it was a wild day full of learning and adventure.
Vacation Camp at Ketcha is always packed with nature, exploration, and unforgettable experiences—just the way we like it!

At Ketcha Outdoors, every day is Earth Day!
We are grateful to learn from the land, play under the trees, and grow a deep love for our planet every single day.

🦕🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨🦴

During the spring thaw at Ketcha Outdoors, our team made an incredible discovery—dinosaur bones buried beneath our front lawn! 😱 Could it be a new species of the Ketchasaurus Rex?! 🧐

Experts (aka our excited campers) are already hard at work studying the fossils. Stay tuned for more updates as we dig deeper into this prehistoric mystery! 🔎🦴

🌿🔍 Play = Learning!

This week, Dr. Kailina Mills shows us a seesaw that our students built by the Ice House and explores the many ways children naturally engage with physical science and gross motor development through play. From balance and force to teamwork and problem-solving, this simple creation is full of big learning moments!

✨ Let’s celebrate the power of hands-on, nature-based learning!

📽️ Featuring Kailina Mills, EdD, Farm & Forest School.
