Youth center is reopened. Thank you to Tony at Dickenschrauf plumbing for fixing the toilet.

We watched a weeks worth of video while reviewing this situation. Obviously there isn’t a camera in the bathroom so we don’t know exactly what happened and we will give the benefit of the doubt and say it was an accident.

I will give a positive spin and say that it was incredible how many kids were there in a week of video and how respectful most were. Some even tried to fix the toilet! 🤮.

We tend to only post when there is an issue but know that we have so many amazing and good kids in this community. There will always be issues here and there but on whole we are lucky.

We did see a fair amount of kids under 12 without a parent. Maybe parents were in a vehicle outside but as a reminder, kids under 12 need to be chaperoned.

I am also asking parents to walk through every now and then and make sure everything is okay and clean up if necessary. This toilet was broken since last Wednesday and we didn’t find out about it until this Tuesday when a parent went in. Our cleaning volunteer was on vacation. If you see a problem please let us know.

Thank you everyone.

This is why we close the youth center on Memorial Day. The youth center is closed but the door was unlocked for the cleaner yesterday. When I went in today to relock it, this is what I found as well as trash thrown on the floor, pool cues thrown on the floor, and all the lights on. We will be checking cameras tonight to see who did this.

Parents, please talk to your kids about being respectful. We are close to closing the center for good because people can’t be respectful. There is no excuse for this behavior.

We are going to ask again please DO NOT PUT DIAPERS IN THE GARBAGE! The youth center is cleaned once a week only. If you change a diaper bring it with you and throw away at home. Ignoring this rule is incredibly rude and if we lose the person that cleans because of it we will close the center. We operate with very few dedicated volunteers and they shouldn’t have to deal with this. Thank you.

Sounds like a perfect day to us!

Gotta get the kids out of the house? Do the trifecta of free fun: TODAY, bring the family to the library for our Craft Extravaganza. Let the kiddos use up some energy at the Manitowish Waters Youth Center next door. Plus, spend some time at the Discovery Center for Family Play Day.
You're going to be busy!

Looking for someone to do some maintenance on the youth center. There are quite a few lights out and one of the light cages has been knocked off and is a safety hazard because it’s right above the basketball hoop.

Need a 12 foot ladder to do the work. If we can’t find someone we will need to close until we can.

The youth center is cleaned once a week. Please refrain from throwing diapers in the garbage can. Same goes with food. There shouldn’t be food in the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
