Thank you for such a beautiful week! KELT has been a favorite camp over the years, my kids LOVE being outside all day (and night!) and as parents we value the rich list of activities offered. We are forever fans.”

How to Register:

There is high demand for summer day camp and we run registration on a lottery basis to give all families an equal (and hopefully less stressful) opportunity to enroll. Campers are limited to one week of camp per year.

Registration for 2025 will be announced in January. We will open the lottery at this website for families to register. All families will have equal access. Camper slots will be allocated within two weeks, and we will contact all families then if you have a spot in camp, or where you are on the waitlist.

Once you have secured your spot, please complete your camp payment by March 1. Scholarships will be available for any campers wishing to participate – see FAQ for details.

Sign up for an email reminder of camp registration for next year by joining our member email list at the bottom of this page.

Please let our Camp Director, Emily Pistell, know if you have any questions by emailing epistell@kennebecestuary.org.
