Tween Scene is Back!

DATES:

JANUARY 6th & JANUARY 27th

5-7pm


We’re thrilled to announce that Tween Scene is back! This program is full of fun, creativity, and connection! Designed just for tweens to hang out, make new friends, and enjoy exciting activities in a safe and welcoming space. From crafts and games to themed projects, Tween Scene is the perfect way to unwind and have fun after school.


And here’s something extra: On the Tuesdays when Tween Scene isn’t running, we invite the whole family to join us for Family Game Night! It’s a great way to spend quality time together, laugh, and enjoy friendly competition.



FAQ's

Who can attend?

Tween Scene is intended for youth aged 9 to 12 years old. To maintain the integrity of the program, we ask that only children within this age range attend. Activities designed to be flexible and inclusive.

Do parents stay or drop off?

It’s flexible. Parents can drop their child off, hang out in the back room and chat with other parents, or stay in the space while their child eases into the group.

Do we have to attend both sessions?

No, attendance at every session isn’t required. We know things happen! However, with the group only meeting twice a month - if you know in advance that your child will miss one of the sessions, we encourage you to wait for a later round of the program so others have a chance to join. But feel free to still join us on Family Game Nights!

Do you have to register?

Yes! We ask families to register for Tween Scene via the form linked on the front of this flyer. You must be registered to attend. Registration will be sent out for each month.

This is a perfect way to set intentions and visualize the life you want to create in 2026.
