Offered each week from June 15 – August 26, 2026
Our co-ed Traditional Day 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 garden. Campers rotate with their group throughout the many activities we have at Ketcha over the week. We also have ‘free time’ set aside on our schedules for all camp activities & old camp favorite games like ‘Gaga’. Our traditional camp age groups are named after animals in our Maine Woods: Cottontails, Woodchucks, Chipmunks, Bobcats, and Black Bears. Campers ages 4-14 are grouped appropriately with low camper-to-staff ratios.
We will use the camper’s rising grade or the grade they will go into Fall 2026.
