Teen Game Night
Looking for something fun to do this summer? Join us for Teen Game Night — a relaxed, supportive evening of tabletop games designed just for teens ages 15–18. This is not therapy. It’s simply a great chance to hang out, meet other teens, and enjoy some friendly competition in a welcoming environment.
Whether you’re a seasoned board game strategist or just looking for something fun to do on a Friday night, you’re welcome here.
Evenings are casual and game-driven. Teens who enjoy games, can follow the rules, and like playing cooperatively tend to thrive in this setting.

FAQS:
Do I have to register for all the game nights?
No, you register for each individually, you can pick 1, 2, or all three.
Can I come for just part of the time?
We ask that you arrive on time, so we can get the party started. We also ask that if you start a game, you at least stay until you’ve completed the game, if at all possible.
Do I need a parent to bring me?
No, if you drive, you can bring yourself. However, We do have a couple of forms we will send gamers for them and their parents to complete.
Can I bring my own food? We ask that you eat before you arrive, but small snacks that aren’t messy are allowed. We will have water and popcorn available.
