DURHAM, N.H.—Teens from military families around the country will be skiing, dog sledding, ice skating and snow tubing in New Hampshire this winter.

Two organizations affiliated with the University of New Hampshire have received a grant from the U.S. defense department to run a series of free, four-day camps in January and February for teens ages 14-18.

The camps will be based at the Appalachian Mountain Club center in Crawford Notch, and two of the four sessions will be for teens with physical, developmental and cognitive disabilities.

The project is organized by UNH's Cooperative Extension and Northeast Passage, a UNH program that develops recreation programs for people with disabilities.
