About us
Katey’s Kids was started in 2010 by the Sebastian family and employees to honor the life and legacy of Kathleen “Katey” Ball Sebastian. Katey devoted her life to the improvement of the lives of the children in her community through literacy, education and community development.
Katey’s Kids is committed to benefiting the children of the communities we serve, the places in which we live and work. Katey’s Kids encourages good citizenship, better education, and civic improvements through contributions of both time and treasure.
This event caters to children entering 1st through 6th grade. The camp focuses on developing crucial literacy skills, including reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, and storytelling, in a fun and interactive environment.
Our annual Literacy Camps, which began in 2000, have become a cherished tradition. These camps are dedicated to inspiring a love for reading and enhancing literacy skills in young participants. Over the years, the camps have positively impacted numerous children and their communities, fostering a lifelong passion for learning.
