Merrowvista

Hiking at Merrowvista is closed beginning Monday, April 10 through Tuesday, Aug. 15, as we will have school groups and campers on site.

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. This beautiful setting provides the perfect backdrop to discover what it means to be my own self, at my very best, all the time!

The AYF mission is the foundation for all we do. Programs are intentionally designed to encourage all to stretch beyond what is comfortable to see what is possible, to allow participants to discover more about their unique capacities, and to practice putting their own best into action in big and small ways.

Registration is now open for Summer 2023!

Merrowvista is pleased to served more youth in 2023, offering one-, two- and three-week sessions during Sessions A and B in 2023.

Session A: July 2 to July 21

Session B: July 23 to Aug. 11

The American Youth Foundation is committed to making the camp experience accessible to as many youth as possible through Financial Aid. As of May 1, 2023, the AYF has distributed all available need-based financial aid for summer 2023. We encourage all families to apply as early as possible next season when new funds will be available.

Families registering more than one camper are also eligible for a Sibling Tuition discount. Families pay the full tuition of the program with the highest cost, then receive 5% off each additional camper’s program. For example, families pay the full tuition for their oldest Explorer camper and receive 5% off their younger Seeker’s tuition.
