Better Together

We are better TOGETHER. Come along with YP for a summer of full-day, in-person programming. Opportunities to participate will fall within our traditional topic areas (Minnesota Sport Schools, Kids’ University, Discovering ‘U’, and Gopher Adventures) and the Learn To: Climbing Club program. Back for 2022, all youth camp sessions will include swimming and indoor rock climbing in addition to hands-on activities, themed projects, arts & crafts, and recreational games. Interested in a speciality topic? Programming in Minnesota Sport Schools, Kids’ University, and Discovering ‘U’ features 2-3 hours of instruction on a variety of topics including sports, art, natural sciences, and technology. Not ready for the fun to end? Join YP on select evenings each week for Climbing Clubs where youth will have the opportunity to explore the sport of rock climbing. Or purchase our Camp-in-a-Box and Activity Boxes for an at-home experience. Registration for summer programming opens online Monday, February 14th at 6:00am.
