Run by Silver Bay YMCA, the goal of the Teen Center is to provide a safe and entertaining environment for local teens in grades 6 through 12. The Teen Center welcomes teens from the surrounding area as well as students from the Ticonderoga Central school district. The program is FREE for all students; all you need to do is complete a few simple forms. Teens will have access to a full court gymnasi
um, a study room, and multiple game areas. During most sessions the gym will be used for 'open gym' activities but we also plan on featuring organized sporting events like indoor soccer, volleyball, and/or basketball games and tournaments. Our study room is also a full working kitchen where students can bring snacks and work on homework. Staff will be on hand to assist with homework or help students set up tutoring. (Please no peanut products!!) Our study room features two state of the art graphics computers which students can use to create or edit media. Our two game rooms feature foosball, pool, and air hockey tables. There are also two flat screen televisions where the teens can watch TV or DVD's or even play some XBOX. The entire floor is hooked up with multiple wireless networks and we also have five desktop computers that are available for use. The Teen Center hosts many special events a month. For the up coming season we plan on featuring a special event once weekly on Saturday night from 7-9pm. Special Events are often free and may include movie nights, organized sporting events, glow-in-the-dark games, dances, and overnight lock-in's. We are looking for teens to join Leaders Club. Leaders Club will feature leadership training and volunteer opportunities both within and outside of the local community. All middle and high school students are encouraged to attend bi-weekly meetings. The Teen Center is closed EVERYDAY between the hours of 6pm and 7pm and EVERY Sunday. Please check our monthly calendar (found in the photos section) to see which Session applies to your age group. For more information or questions please contact:
