Apex Youth Connection

Apex supports children and teens through outdoor programs that build skills promoting empowerment, self-confidence, resilience, and leadership.

Founded in 2001, Apex Youth Connection offers free programs to youth in grades 5-12, both after school and during the summer months.

Located in the Biddeford-Saco area, Apex looks for innovative ways to empower youth through active and intentional connections to the outdoors, local communities, and their peers. Participants are supported by adult mentors, helping promote confidence, learning, and personal growth.

Did you know?

Located on six acres abutting Clifford Park in Biddeford, the organization offers activities including a rock climbing wall and bicycle course for participants.

Additionally, Apex's Job Readiness Program provides immersive work experiences through the Apex Bike Factory (ABF), a full-service bike shop run by middle and high school students.
