            Our Mission:
            Our goal is to enrich the social, recreational, cultural and educational experiences of our residents through a variety of opportunities for all ages while addressing and achieving our unique communities needs. Our Youth Center is for residents 10 & Up. We have a computer lab, video games, snacks and crafts for kids to do. With two Supervisors plus Staff on each day, we will watch over your kids until 5 pm. We do not take care of kids under 10, but here is list of local daycare providers that may help. External link opens in new tab or window(VIEW LIST)
