2023 KEEPERS registration is now open!
We’ve revamped KEEPERS camp from STEM to STEAM!! Our expanded curriculum will include more general science, technology, engineering, math and lots of ART. Our teachers are planning an amazing array of fun activities to spur your child’s interest and excitement for STEM by channeling their creativity into learning about the many aspects of their world - Weather, Water, Environment, Motion, and Invention!
Here’s a taste of activities they’ll enjoy: percolate soil samples on Environment Day, create a barometer on Weather Day, build a roller coaster on Motion Day, water usage sponge game on Water Day, invent a new game that gets you up and moving on Invention Day, and so many more!! The morning will be a power-packed time of activities, stories, design challenges, and of course, time for making new friends!
We will be following UNH's Covid-19 protocols so please view them here: https://www.unh.edu/youthprograms/covid-19-protocols
Check the Summer Youth Programs website for more UNH camp information.

Please take note...
Online Registration Instructions: please review carefully before enrolling for the best outcome. Family Accounts are recommended for families enrolling multiple children in any UNH youth program.
If enrolling through an individual student account, the account must be created in the name of the child, not the parent/guardian. More information for creating and/or enrolling in either a student or family account are at the online registration instructions link.
Although final COVID-19 protocols may change by summer 2022, UNH’s current mitigation strategies can be reviewed here: COVID-19 health measures.
