Letter to Families Coming Soon for 2025
In 2025 we will continue to offer phased registration. We are hard at work moving from Campbrain to Campminder for our registration software. Look for an email by Monday, December 23 about rates dates, and changes we’re planning to make to this summer season. We will post instructions for registering on Campminder in the new year.
Please see the information below on financial aid, pre-registration, registration tips and tricks, and our weekly themes and specialty camp schedules!
Camperships and Financial Aid Coming Soon for 2025
Ketcha Outdoors is committed to increasing access to children who may not have the opportunity to attend summer camp. Given the increasingly competitive nature of registration for summer camp, in 2025 we will be saving spots in our summer camp to ensure that campers who need financial assistance are given the opportunity. We also hope to increase access to our financial aid program to families who may need a subsidized rate to keep up with the increasing costs of childcare.
The 2025 Scholarship Application will be available through Campminder as a form during registration.

Summer Camp offers a world of experience that no other classroom can. Opening and closing circle is a small glimpse into the world of summer camp for families. The fairy house building, arts & crafts, swimming in the pool, catching frogs, climbing up to the top of the tire on the vertical playground, and flashlight tag on our overnights are the activities that are remembered and often shared. However camp is much more than just the nostalgia that makes campers and counselors yearn for the summer all year, it’s those magic moments that camp is made of that bring back children, as well as, counselors every summer.
A 4 year old camper, told me on day one “No one wants to be my friend” then to see her leave camp with lots of confidence in herself socially, and plenty of friends to say goodbye to. It was great to see! – Ketcha Counselor
Each summer, we witness incredible moments of triumph over fears and the joy of making lifelong friendships, all of which contribute to our shared story – those magical moments that define our experience. Summer camp holds a unique and cherished position in the hearts of everyone at Ketcha, and we understand just how meaningful it is for each one of our campers too. It’s a place where memories are made, bonds are formed, and personal growth is nurtured. We look forward to creating more unforgettable moments together this summer at Camp Ketcha!
