A comprehensive program for school-aged children, Youth

encompasses a range of youth sports including football, baseball,

The Adventure
Program offers structured activities during school breaks in summer, spring
and winter including excursions to fun destinations on and off base.
The Club
The Teen Youth Center now coined as, "The
Club," membership continues to climb.
No, it's not a day care.
That's probably the biggest misconception that many teens and base families
have.
The Club does not force members to remain at the facility for
any length of time--the kids are free to come and go as they
please.
What differentiates The Club with other teen centers is the
introduction and implementation of the Power Hour, and the many field trips
taken off the base.
The Power Hour is a designated time set during
the after-school hours for members to complete homework.
Open
year-round, The Club offers base pre-teens and teenagers 10 - 18, a safe,
positive atmosphere to hang out for only $25
a year.
The Club is open after school from 2 - 7 p.m. and Fridays
from 2 - 8 p.m.
During the monthly teen meetings, topics discussed
include planning future field trips, leadership development and enhancing
self-esteem.
The Club journeys to shopping malls, various beaches,
movie theaters and museums.
More than a hut which houses air-hockey,
a pool table, video games, a giant TV and computers, The Club is
fundamentally a sanctuary that base teens can retreat, escape and gather to
develop a sense of who they are as individuals and to enrich relationships
with other teens.
