We are doing this by offering free before and after care or bus transportation. Last summers Camp Parent survey told us that the best way we could help parents was to reduce costs that working parents have to pay. Reducing this cost for working families will allow more children to get outside and be active for more weeks of the summer. If you sign up your camper for 8 full weeks of camp then you can choose before and after care or round trip bus transportation for free. If you do not need extended care Camp Ketcha will take $25 off a week, $200 max for the summer discounted off of your last week. If you cancel a week than you will be responsible for paying for any transportation or early & late care that you used.

If you have already registered and want to take advantage you can just send an email. This offer is not valid for partial weeks. Offer is valid for the first 50 individual campers who sign up for 8 or more weeks, not families with multiple children signing up for a total of 8 weeks.
