Youth Programs Home

Youth Programs offers recreation activities infused with educational experiences for children of the University community. All Youth Programs are designed to encourage discovery and personal growth, while exposing children to the University of Minnesota.

Summer Youth Programs are structured as fun and informative day camps. Learning opportunities range from sport specific instruction to sound recording. Birthday Parties are a less structured opportunity to expose children to the University. Held at the St. Paul Gym, each party includes at least one hour of activity in the pool or on the climbing wall and an hour of games and activity in a party room. All Youth Programs are facilitated by highly trained personnel with special interests in childhood development.

Announcements

University Youth Programs Scholarship Fund

University Youth Programs has established a scholarship in memory of Annika Troedsson, a longtime member of the Youth Programs family, who passed away in spring 2008. Annika attended Youth Programs as a camper for several years, worked as a Group Leader for two summers, and planned to return in summer 2008.

In tribute to her memory, the University Youth Programs Scholarship Fund will award at least one family with a scholarship in Annika's name to allow those with limited financial resources to enjoy the fun and benefits of the summer camp program.To make a financial contribution to the University Youth Programs Scholarship Fund, visit the University's online giving website, or call 612-625-5977.
