Campus Recreation supports wellness

**As Campus Recreation adapts to current events, please refer to our homepage for updates.**

With direction from public health officials, current guidelines and university leadership we have made the difficult decision to suspend our Summer Youth Programs for 2020. We understand the disappointment in this decision; our plans were in motion, counselors interviewed and selected, plans for theme weeks set, program improvements made and unfortunately, our overall excitement to create summer memories will need to wait until next summer. Please reach out with questions or concerns, at nausyp@gmail.com. Thank you for your continued support, we are looking forward to seeing you next summer!

Summer youth programs

Information on registration for Summer 2020 can be found on this page under Camp information.

Our camps educate and entertain children entering Kindergarten through eighth grade, while parents/guardians attend classes or work for 10 weeks in the summer. We provide a fun and friendly environment where your children can take part in safe, high-quality activities led by a well-trained and knowledgeable staff across the NAU campus. Our enthusiastic camp leaders create engaging and non-traditional program opportunities that are sure to enhance your children’s summer, and are all grade and age appropriate. Please visit our camps section for more details!
