Unity House offers options for children and teenagers

Note: our summer camp for those ages 5-12 years is at capacity so we are no longer accepting applications.

Youth programming at Unity House is varied by site and season, for different age groups. Unity House also partners with other community-based organizations to engage with youth. Read about Unity House options below.

Youth programing is funded through a variety of sources, including donations. If you would like to help sustain and enhance youth programs, please consider a charitable donation to Unity House.

• NY State Traveling Summer Camp

  For families with children ages 5-12, our summer camp is available. For the 2023 season, registration is FULL. 

  Our campers meet up each day at Unity House’s Front Door location, our community resource center located, at 2431 Sixth Avenue in Troy.

  This pick-up and drop-off point at the base of Hoosick Street is convenient for families, and the staff who will lead the children on each day’s adventure: the travel!

  The camp is unique in that it takes children to all the fun that our beautiful area has to offer. With counselors, children will explore state parks, enjoy museums, make arts and crafts, and visit fun and enriching spots. The camp is free for those eligible.

  Applications for each session of camp will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is at capacity.

  If you would like to help support summer fun for children, please consider making a gift to the Unity House Summer Camp.  You’ll not only give children a summer of fun, you’ll be helping to broaden their horizons. On behalf of those we serve, especially the children, thank you for your consideration!
