Student collaboration, teamwork, sharing ideas, and mutual respect is a big part of our youth programs.
Programs utilize top-notch facilities from athletic areas to high-level research labs, fun & safe recreational sites, and technology classrooms.
Youth learn in small settings from UNH Faculty, Professional Staff, and Students, along with teachers and experts in the field.
We're outdoors, having fun, and keeping it active!
Programs are held on two UNH campuses, but also throughout New Hampshire, including islands along NH's coastline.
