A parent or adult must wait and check in the child in person unless prior arrangements have been made. On Mondays, due to the number of newcomers each week, adults can assist by escorting the child inside to the designated area.

program information

Gopher Adventures is the base for all of our offerings. The emphasis is on fun, healthy activities while discovering many features of the Twin Cities campus and area. All groups participate in indoor rock climbing, swimming, art instruc-tion, an organized physical education and/or nutrition curric-ulum, theme activities, and recreational games each week. Gopher Adventures camps include a tour or demonstration/guest speaker each week. Minnesota Sport Schools, Discov-ering ‘U’, and Kids’ University add the instructional topics that make University Youth & Community Programs one of the most unique programs in the Twin Cities. These camps follow the basic structure of Gopher Adventures, except for approximately three hours each day spent in travel and the specialty topic selected. One fee includes it all!

INSTRUCTIONAL CAMPSOur specialty topics are led by exceptional teachers and accomplished athletes affiliated with the University or by community specialists who bring expertise and enthusiasm to every activity. Instruction typically takes place for two to three hours each day; the remainder of the day is spent in recreational activities with the Group Leader staff, such as the climbing wall, swimming, indoor/outdoor games, crafts, etc. Each program utilizes the University’s outstanding recre-ation, sport, and academic facilities.

PLACEMENT WITH A FRIENDGopher Adventure groups are divided by staff when group sizes dictate. Indicate any request for friend or sibling pairing on the registration from (hard copy or online). For other camps, register with the same bar code. Youth Programs will make every effort to accommodate requests, provided students are in the same age group, space is available, and requests are made at least 7 days in advance. Please keep in mind that with small group sizes it is very difficult to accom-modate requests for multiple friends together.

REGISTRATION BEGINS FEBRUARY 10, 2014

TRANSPORTATIONCampers will travel around campus on foot as well as on the University’s bus service (Campus Connector and Circulators.) Some off campus instruction and field trips will travel by school bus, city bus, or light rail.

WEATHERThe majority of our activities take place outdoors. Because we cannot depend upon nature to be completely cooperative, alternative programming may be necessary when weather conditions become unsafe or uncomfortable.

T-SHIRTSEach camper will receive one Youth Program T-shirt per summer, regardless of the number of sessions he or she attends.

SAFETY AND BEHAVIORStaff will make every effort to maintain a safe and enjoyable program for all. Participants are expected to follow basic rules of safety and respect, similar to a school setting. Parents will be informed of discipline details in the Parent Handbook and are expected to support the policies and procedures of the program and staff. Measures will be taken to redirect and improve behaviors when appropriate and to work with parents on this. Tips or information in advance to help prevent and/or address specific needs for your child are helpful. Behaviors or incidents of an ongoing, serious and/or threatening nature may be cause for the removal from the program without refund or credit.
