SUMMER
PROGRAMS

open for enrollment January 1st, 2026!

Seven Rivers offers exceptional outdoor enrichment to the communities in the greater Seacoast area of NH. We believe strongly in the value of nature based education and developing emotional intelligence. We strive to nurture empathy and perseverance, to kindle curiosity and creativity. Our youth programs prioritize nurturing connection to land and wildlife while kindling a sense of community. We value the growth and resilience that occurs when children are given the freedom to explore, create, engage and problem solve with each other and individually.

At Seven Rivers, we craft our programs with care, selecting attentive and skilled instructors. It is our priority to expose our participants to a wide array of practical application skills while encouraging collaboration.
