We offer activities year-round to children and youth. We offer and encourage children and their families to engage with nature and the outdoors! There are many exciting opportunities to come out and play on Camp Ketcha’s beautiful 107 acres during the school year!
Farm & Forest Preschool
We offer a truly unique nature based outdoor program for preschoolers. Ketcha is tucked between the seashore and the salt marshes on 107 acres of forest, fields, farm, and pond. September through May our students are active in the outdoors learning through exploration and observations, hiking the woods, gardening, visiting and helping to tend our bunnies, goats, horses, ducks and chickens. We have lessons on bugs and birds, farming and forests, seasonal cycles, animals of Maine and the world – and lots and lots of outdoor play time. We celebrate muddy hands, active minds and happy hearts!
School Vacation Camp Programs
We offer a full day of activities for children ages 4-14. We offer traditional, specialty and horsemanship vacation camps year-round. Come out snow shoe on our property, take a trail ride, experience camp year-round! Each day features activities to keep your child engaged. Campers may register by the day or by the week. We will do inside projects, play outside in our 107 acres of fields and woods. School Vacation Camps are offered almost every day children are out of school for scheduled vacations. Activities may include arts & crafts, outdoor living skills, drama, group games, environmental education, sports, team-building activities, cooking and much more.
