Friday Nights at the Center: Fun for your kids, a night off for you!
Due to concerns about covid, Friday Nights has been postponed. We are eager for the return of this popular program, and hope to be able to bring this back to the center in the 2022/2023 school year. Stay tuned for updates! For questions about Friday Nights, please contact Tasha@manhattanyouth.org
Family or Tween members who are currently enrolled in grades 1st - 8th are invited to join us for our Friday Night Program at the Center. This drop-off program meets from 6:00pm - 9:00pm and is designed to give our youth a great place to socialize and play on Friday nights, while their parents enjoy an evening out. Supervised by our talented counselors, our junior and senior division offer a little something for everyone, including a vegetarian style dinner!
1st - 3rd Grade: Junior Division
Led by our Manhattan Youth childcare professionals, youth are invited to join us Friday evenings for a weekly rotating series of activities and themed events. Activities include but are not limited to: Swimming, Indoor Sports, Sculpting with Clay, Arts & Crafts classes, Digital Media, Counselor-led Games and Activities and Nintendo Wii tournaments.
