KEEPERS Camp will be taking a break for summer 2026.

But if your elementary-aged child is interested in a STEM experience this summer, we would love to see them at Camp Pageturner, where we've collaborated with the Community Literacy Center for a full day STEM/literacy immersion camp! 

~~~

Throughout the summer, we'll be offering a week-long, full-day camp experiences, allowing your child to explore STEM, improve their literacy, and get out their energy with pool time. Camp Pageturner runs for 6 weeks, and we'll be partnering with them for 3 of those sessions! Of course, if the Pageturner camp themes interest your child, we'd love to have them throughout the summer. 

STEM/literacy immersion camp sessions include:
- Session 3, July 6-10 - YIP, YIP, Hooray! (Invention theme)
- Session 4, July 13-17 - GLOBE-al Nature Writers (Environment theme)
- Session 6, July 27-July 31 - Mathemagicians (Math & Magic theme)

Registration for Pageturners collaboration camps will reopen in early 2026.

Check the Summer Youth Programs website for more UNH camp information.

What's camp like?

"She came home SO excited every day and shared everything she'd learned. She and Rye were talking this afternoon about how excited the are to attend again next year and one of Hazel's brothers can't wait until he's old enough as well." - Parent, 7 yr old 

"This is the funnest camp I've been to in a long time." - Joe, 7 yr old

"This is by far Rye's favorite summer camp - every day she came home saying "Today was the best day ever! Tomorrow is going to be the best day ever!". Feel so lucky to have opportunities like this for her to explore STEM, meet scientists, and do fun art projects. She's already wondering if she can work for KEEPERS when she is older :)" - Parent, 7 yr old

"Scarlett is loving camp! Thank you to you and the other teachers for your hard work!" - Parent, 8 yr old
