​​​Hi, I’m Jenna Ketch, founder of Active Adventures, a locally owned movement and recreation company creating meaningful, movement-based experiences for participants from 3 months through adulthood.

​My passion for movement, recreation, and creative play began early. From working at a country club as a caddy and umpiring youth softball to earning degrees in Physical Education and Business Administration, I discovered a calling that would shape my career: developing engaging programs that bring people together, encourage personal growth, and create lasting, positive experiences.

 

​Following college, I spent more than a decade building experience in recreation and nonprofit programming, including outdoor education, summer camps, aquatics, team building, and youth development. Throughout my career, I developed a strong foundation in program design, participant engagement, and creating experiences that serve people at different stages of life. My work eventually led me to early childhood education, where I recognized the tremendous value of active play and the need for more intentional opportunities for children to learn, develop, and connect through movement.​ That realization became the foundation of Active Adventures. Drawing on my background in education, physical activity, and recreation, I developed an original, thoughtfully structured curriculum that combines purposeful movement with creative play. Our programs encourage the development of coordination, balance, spatial awareness, cognitive skills, confidence, and independence while fostering communication, cooperation, and social-emotional growth.

​

​But Active Adventures is about more than physical development. At its core is a commitment to human interaction (HI)—the power of being present, engaging face-to-face, and building meaningful relationships through shared experiences. In a world increasingly shaped by screens, digital distractions, and disconnected routines, I believe we need more opportunities to slow down, interact with one another, and rediscover the value of simply being together.

​Active Adventures creates engaging, inclusive experiences where movement becomes the catalyst for connection, personal growth, and community. Whether a child is discovering new abilities, a family is sharing time together, or adults are reconnecting through play, every experience is an opportunity to strengthen relationships, build confidence, and have fun.

​Through professional expertise, creative programming, and a people-first approach, I’m building Active Adventures around a simple but powerful belief: movement brings us together, and meaningful human connection makes the experience matter.
