Homework Centers
The Club offers quiet areas for members to complete homework and receive homework assistance in the Learning Center, the Teen Lounge, and the Tech Center. An encyclopedia library and secure internet access is also available for project information and research.

Power Hour
Members are encouraged to complete their homework during our daily Power Hour which earns them Power Points for each page of homework completed. Members who earn enough Power Points are invited to join weekly Power Parties where they receive rewards and treats for completing their homework each day. Power Hour keeps kids motivated to do their homework that allows families to have more quality time at home during the evening hours.

If your child needs additional assistance, we also offer affordable group tutoring sessions taught by certified teachers that are focused on developing specific academic skills to help your child gain mastery over difficult subjects.

Program Counselors
Our caring staff of youth development professionals keep kids engaged in positive, character-building activities that invest in their success and mentor them to achieve to their full potential. We ensure that each Program Counselor is trained in youth development best practices, is first aid and CPR certified, and is background checked and fingerprinted prior to hiring. In fact, many of our program counselors have been with us for many years, and were actually club members before becoming staff members! They earned paid Program Counselor positions with us by demonstrating good work ethics and good character proven during their tenure in our youth leadership programs while they were members. It’s inspiring to realize that we positively influence the lives of our members in ways that shape their career choices and their futures!

Parent / Child Tournaments
We like to create opportunities for families to spend quality time interacting in positive activities together with fun parent/child tournaments held right here at the Club. Tournaments are held in the evening hours and are always filled with laughter and memorable moments for our young members and their families to take home with them. From air hockey to foosball, parents team up with their children to compete against other family teams. Food and drinks are served, and every participant wins a prize, with an extra special gift for the winners! Please check for dates of upcoming Parent / Child Tournaments for a great night of free family fun!
