CHALLENGE COURSE

The Camp Ketcha challenge course consists of a full progression of low and high elements. Low elements stress the importance of teamwork and problem solving. High elements allow you to individually push yourself beyond your perceived limits and comfort levels with the support of the rest of your group. After completing elements, use debriefing techniques led by your Camp Ketcha facilitator, to learn from the overall process of the experience, not just the outcome. Let them guide you to recognize how you’ve grown personally and as a group. All programs are custom designed and tailored to meet the needs of your group.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Explore the Camp Ketcha community through activities and programs which bring you closer to the land. View signs of native plant and animal species while honing in your newly acquired map and compass skills learned in our orienteering class. Or gain knowledge of local agriculture and organic farming through hands-on experiential education in our camp garden. There’s a little of everything for everyone here at Camp Ketcha; let us help guide you to the discovery of where you fit in.

SCHOOL GROUPS

Whether you’re a physical education class, math class, or a science class, our programs can help students expand and examine their thought process and how they interact with their classmates. Our school programs are based on satisfying the educational building blocks for successful and fulfilled adulthood according to the Maine Learning Results. All our challenges require students to communicate with each other in a clear and effective manner in order to be successful. They test the mind and make the students think “outside the box” in an integrative way. Most challenges are group based, and the use of a Full Value Contract helps students stay involved and be a valuable member of the group.

RECREATION DEPARTMENTS

Have a large group of kids you’re having a hard time engaging for the day? Come to Camp Ketcha and let our skilled staff entertain them with their never-ending repertoire of large group games, initiatives, twists on classic tag games, and on the challenge course. Come for a half or a full day; we’ve got enough to keep them occupied. We offer both on-site and off-site programming for both your participants and staff. Start your busy season off right with a training session by one of our facilitators to learn new games, back pocket activities and simple initiatives. At the end of our training your staff will leave with a whole new list of activities and the confidence to run them. Never again will they be dumbfounded by a rainy day or unexpected down time.

CORPORATE GROUPS

Camp Ketcha has much to offer corporate groups. During your next office retreat try something new and take advantage of our facility. Use initiatives and the challenge course to develop interpersonal communication and efficiency. Learn more about your coworkers and how you can work better, together. Examine your actions and process the outcome in a low-stress environment, so you can function at your best back on the job when it counts. Programs can span from a short afternoon or evening, to a two day workshop. Big or small, your corporation can benefit from growth and improvement in the aforementioned fields. Our custom programs can help you, that’s the bottom line.
