Calling New Hampshire Youth to Become NH Natural Leaders!
CHECK OUT THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR TWO WEEKS OF CAMP COMBINED WITH A YEAR ROUND PROGRAM! Barry Conservation Camp may be full, but registration is now open for a new environmental leadership program for youth between the ages of 13-17, sponsored by the NH Children and Nature Coalition and Kimball Union Academy’s EE Just Environmental Leadership Institute. The program starts this summer with a two-week residential experience in which youth get to work directly with scientists, as well as canoe, camp and hike; involvement will continue through the school year. Called NH Natural Leaders, the program seeks applications from New Hampshire youth who are interested in the environment and active in their community, and who want to further their knowledge and skills through active outdoor engagement in recreational and educational pursuits.
The NH Natural Leaders Program is a project of the NH Children in Nature Coalition and the national Children and Nature Network. The coalition has membership of over fifty New Hampshire organizations and several hundred individuals. Partners include the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, UNH Cooperative Extension, the Appalachian Mountain Club, The Harris Center for conservation Education, New Hampshire Student Conservation Association, Healthy NH Foundation, New Hampshire Audubon and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.

UNH 4-H Camps at Bear Hill 4-H camp in Bear Brook State Park, Allenstown, won’t be offered this coming summer. According to Wendy Brock, UNH Cooperative Extension Program Leader, 4-H Youth Development, “4-H Camp at Bear Hill will be suspended for one year during which time a determination will be made regarding the future operation of the Bear Hill facility.”
A committee will be established to conduct a financial and facility feasibility study to determine the future of 4-H Camps. To participate in this group, contact Wendy Brock at 603-862-2187 or wendy.brock@unh.edu. Looking for volunteer opportunities? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us at 4hcamps@unh.edu.
