Make Your Child a Happy Camper!
Everyone dreams of camp–exploring creeks, singing silly songs, and frolicking in the forest. The Kenai Watershed Forum is happy to offer week-long day camps, and a Tree Planting Workshop!
All sessions will involve fostering a connection to nature through a hands-on, immersion in the outdoors, allowing them to see, feel, smell, and directly experience the flora and fauna of the Kenai Peninsula watershed for themselves.
Camp size is limited, so reserve your spot early! Scholarships are available.

2025 Camp Staff:
Camp Coordinator & Lead Instructor – Katey Shedden
Katey is originally from Fort Worth, TX and attended college at Chaminade University of Honolulu, where she majored in Environmental Studies and Mass Media Communications. Since 2017, she spent her summers doing seasonal environmental education work on the Kenai Peninsula, and made the full move to Alaska in the spring of 2021. Katey’s passions include hiking, kayaking, watercolor painting, nature photography, and connecting people of all ages to the natural spaces around them.
Summer Camp Assistant – Caitlyn Eskelin
Caitlyn was born and raised in Soldotna, Alaska, and is currently a junior at KCHS. She loves volunteering for local organizations, going to the Wednesday Market, and traveling even if it’s for work. Caitlyn’s plan for the future is to choose a major in Education or Business. Whichever it is, she hopes her time at the Kenai Watershed Forum will inspire her.
Thank You!
An investment in youth is an investment in our future.
