Over 120,000 youth have attended the Youth Center over the past 12 years since its doors opened in October of 1997.  It is still going as strong as ever.

The Youth Center is a FREE drop in recreation center for youth ages 10-18.  A parent/guardian must fill out a registration form prior to the youth attending.  It's definitely one of the best kept secrets in town providing a wide variety of activities for boys and girls.
