About Youth Programs

Forces of Nature, Summer 2021 Youth Programs, Ages 6-17, A summer like no other

Forces of Nature

Come along on a new adventure with YP! Our summer programming will look different this year, with new formats and exciting activity sessions, Learn-to-Programming, virtual & hybrid camps, camp-in-a-box and stand-alone activity boxes. Opportunities to participate will fall within our traditional five topic areas (Minnesota Sport Schools, Kids' University, Discovering 'U', Gopher Adventures, and Youth Leadership Program), but the structure of the offerings will vary greatly across the different formats we are offering. With all of these options, you're sure to find something that fits your interests and needs. With the call to be flexible and vigilant this year as our public health situation evolves and changes, the most up-to-date program information will be found here on our website. Registration for In-person, Virtual & Hybrid Programs opens online Tuesday, March 23rd at 8:00am. Camp-in-a-Box and Activity Boxes will be available for online purchase beginning March 31st.
