AYF inspires people to discover and develop their personal best, to seek balance in their lives, and to make a positive difference in the wider world.
Set on over 600 acres in the pristine Ossipee Mountains of New Hampshire, Merrowvista draws you into a life that is rustic, uncomplicated, and filled with excitement. Trails lead through the forest to mountain peaks just waiting to be explored. Dan Hole Pond, a crystal clear lake, is the hub of waterfront activities.
Merrowvista has been running youth development programs since 1925. Summer camp offers 1-4 week opportunities for campers 8-17. The Year-Round Programs offer intentionally designed programs to support organizations that work with youth (open to participants from 5th grade to adults). Merrowvista maintains a year-round staff of professionals assuring the safety and quality of all of our programs. We are accredited by the American Camp Association.
The American Youth Foundation inspires people to discover and develop their personal best, to seek balance in mental, physical, social and spiritual living and to make a positive difference in their communities and in the wider world.
