Parents, have your teenagers outgrown the traditional summer camps they enjoyed as youngsters? Do they enjoying hanging out with other teens who share their interests? Do they want to explore some exciting career options?
There are some great opportunities coming up this summer at UNH 4-H Camps. The camps, operated by UNH Cooperative Extension, have special programs designed for Teen Adventure campers, who can also participate in regular camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, hiking and crafts. UNH 4-H Camps is located at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown. Cost of the Teen Adventure Series is $495/week, all inclusive. Just look at the options below:
Healthy Athlete: July 15-20 This session includes interactive workshops conducted by professionals in sports conditioning and injury prevention, sports nutrition for optimum performance and sports psychology. This is a great camp to get ready for fall sports. Participants will enjoy a Red Sox game at Fenway Park!
Baaa Hill at Bear Hill: July 22-27 This session is a great start for those interested in a career in veterinary medicine or animal science, as they become the caretakers of a goat (provided for the week). Participants will construct goat packs, and take a trek with their animal in Bear Brook State Park.
Take to the Skies: July 29-August 3 An exciting opportunity for teens interested in aviation and astronomy. Teens will tour Pease Air National Guard Base in Newington, spending time in the flight simulator. There will be a late night trip to the UNH Observatory for some quality star gazing.
NH Expedition: August 5- 10 Teens explore the varied terrain of the Granite State, as the group travels north to the NH Fish and Game Fish Hatchery at Barry Conservation Camp where they will spend the night. After a guided adventure through the caverns of Lost River, teens will take a two-hour adventure through the tree tops of Lincoln, with Alpine Adventures.
Island Adventure I and II : August 12-17 Participants spend three days on the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire. Campers attend programs using the Shoals Marine Lab (jointly run by UNH and Cornell University). Group I has a focus of natural history/island legend, while Group II will concentrate on oceanography and marine science.
