Camp KEEN

For our summer programs, we focus on special event based programming instead of our ongoing program schedule.  Camp KEEN runs June-August.

Participants must be registered for programs they are attending. No drop-ins allowed.


Due to program demand, safety concerns, and weather related challenges we have adjusted some of our summer program options.

All programs have limited capacities. We will do our best to allocate spaces equitably, however, we will not be able to accommodate all program requests.
