PROGRAMS
High School Drop-In
Mondays 2:30-4:30pm
Youth visit our youth centre on a weekly basis and participate in both planned (tournaments and food nights) and informal activities (pool, ping pong, board games). It is through participation in these activities that our mature, caring Christian adult staff and volunteers are able to build relationships of mutual trust and respect. After building these relationships, we are then able to discover the needs of the youth and plan core programs to address those current needs.

Chill Zone
Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:00-5:00 pm
An after-school drop-in program for youth in grades 6, 7 and 8.

This program will run vary similar to our high school program except that any planned activities will be prepared with younger children in mind.
