Teen Night Hang Outs


It all started on Jan. 7, when a group of kids ranging in age from 10-17 had a blast at our BRAND NEW TEEN NIGHTS open to all pre-teens and teens in the community!

 

Held from 7-10pm on the second Friday of every month are Teen Night Fridays; the building is open just for teens and pre-teens. The first hour is full of food, team building, and getting-to-know-you games and exercises. The final two hours are open for the kids to go where they please; the gym, the pool, the climbing wall, or Youth and Teen Room where there’s Rock Band, Wii Fit, and Guitar Hero. The cost is minimal of $5 if you pre-register and $7 at the door.

 

We look forward to these events becoming bigger and bigger and invite all churches, schools, and interested participants. For further information or dates on Teen Nights, contact the member relations desk at (847) 410-5371. Next Teen Night is March 13th- Mark your calendars!

Youth and Teen Club Free with Membership


3rd–10th Grade

School’s back in session, and the Youth and Teen Club is back and better than ever! Looking for something to do after school or for a safe place to have fun while mom and dad are working out?

 

This is the place for you. We have arts and crafts, activities planned for each day posted on our calendar and homework help. In addition we also have a lounging area to just relax and read or take a break from school work for awhile. To keep everyone active, mentally and physically, we have word games and the Wii and we are constantly playing games in the gym and outside when the weather permits.

 

So stop on in and check it out! (Also open during winter and spring breaks. Stop by the member relations desk for special hours.)
Location: Youth and Teen Club Room

Your coach will meet with you to determine your health and fitness goals. Based on those goals you will be set up on a program that will help you succeed. This program will include cardiovascular and strength training. To sign up for the Commit to be Fit program, simply stop by the member relations desk and schedule your appointment. You will be on your way to a healthier you!

The Commit to be Fit program for teens consists of four separate appointments based on the goals and time frame of the individual. Upon completion of the program all teens must pass a written exam.  Teens must wear proper identification at all times while going through the program and after completion.  If identification is lost, there will be a $5 dollar replacement fee.

If you are interested in the free weight option, you must set up an appointment with the Health Enhancement Director or the Wellness Coordinator to go over the conditions and fill out the appropriate paperwork.  Stop by the Healthy Lifestyles Information Center for more details about the Teen Commit to be Fit program and the Free Weight option.
