ChillSpace

Children and teens hangout, play games, build stuff, and more.

CHILLspace is a space for tweens and teens to use whether it’s for:

             hanging out with good friends

             catching up on a good book

             listening to music

             play cards or board games

             doodle

Every now and again we will offer a surprise activity.  For example, we may play a movie or bring out the Nintendo Switch.

Tweens and teens are welcome to bring their after school snacks to eat in the meeting room as well.

But mostly CHILLspace is a fun spot for kids to unwind after school.

AGE GROUP: | Teens (12-18 years) | Elementary (6-11 years) |
