As a leader in youth development, Merrowvista inspires people to be their best selves. We achieve this by creating a fun and safe environment where campers will learn new skills and make new friends – and we believe much more is possible! Campers 8-17 will find a progression of age appropriate adventures and opportunities waiting for them. Our philosophy of “Best Self,” “Balanced Living” and “Healthy Friendships” is intentionally interwoven throughout the camp experiences.

Grades 3-7: Our in-camp Pioneer & Program - 1, 2 or 3 weeks long - offers a wide range of activities including arts and crafts, sports, performing arts, and water front fun, as well as an overnight camping adventure in campsites around the area.

Grades 7 & 8: The Trailblazer Program, which is 3 or 4 weeks long, offers new challenges. In addition to the in-camp activities offered, campers go on a 3 day backpacking trip and a 2 day canoeing trip in the Ossipee region. As the oldest in-camp program, Trailblazers act as role models to the Merrowvista community.

Grades 9-12: Our Four Trails Program is a series of wilderness adventure trips. Campers enjoy the community and traditions of Merrowvista as they embark on hiking, biking, or canoeing expeditions during 3 or 4 week sessions. These trips offer age appropriate challenges that help campers learn to live in community and reach for their personal best.

Join us for a summer, and leave with learning that will last a lifetime!
