YOUTH (Grades K-5)
The Youth Department is designed with your children in mind. Our programs serve children from kindergarten through fifth grade and include after school and vacation programming, summer camp, birthday parties and parent-run committees. Our goal is to enhance the lives of your children through creative and interactive programming that allows individuality and continued growth and development.
Has the class you wanted already started? In many cases, you can still register and pay a pro-rated fee! Keep an eye out for updated classes, as we often add new programs to accommodate the demand.
