Ketcha Outdoors is run by a small, dedicated, four-season staff – and many, many volunteers! Our volunteer projects happen year-round, and we welcome individuals; children and parents volunteering together; small youth or adult groups; as well as company volunteer days!
If your workplace would like to come help with one of our a larger projects, we especially enjoy welcoming local businesses to our campus. Please contact Thomas Doherty, our Executive Director, for more information at tdoherty@campketcha.org.
