***A message from HQ USAF/A1SA*** A fantastic opportunity for our military teens! The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension (UNHCE) 4-H Youth Development program is preparing for its 2012 White Mountain Winter Adventure Camps for teens living in military families. These four camps will take teens, ages 14 to 18, to the Appalachian Mountain Clubs Highland Center in Bretton Woods where they will enjoy classic winter sports and activities, as they build friendships with other military teens. Funding for Military Teen Adventure Camps has been made available through a partnership between the Department of Defense, Office of Military Community & Family Policy and the United States Department of Agriculture / National Institute of Food & Agriculture. What is the best part about these camps? There is only a $20 fee to cover the cost of camp mementos. All food, lodging, lift tickets, and lessons are free. Transportation assistance is also available, including limited airfare funding for January sessions. Military teens with disabilities will be working with therapeutic recreation specialists, and each camper may bring along a personal care attendant, if needed. The adventure camps are open to military teens from anywhere in the United States. The four sessions are as follows: White Mountain Adventure Camp for Military Teens with Physical Disabilities- Jan 6-9 White Mountain Adventure Camp for Military with Developmental or Cognitive Disabilities- Jan 20-23 White Mountain Adventure Camp for Military Teens without Disabilities- Feb 19-22 and Feb 26-29 Please see the below link for additional details and applications: http://extension.unh.edu/4H/4H_OMK/documents/MilTeenAC-Regis.pdf
