Junior Jam

the “Jam” is for teens and preteens who already have a busy summer schedule but still want to enjoy summer favorites such as sports, swimming, music, arts, group games and tournaments. teens take an active role in planning activities, field trips and special events. While teens are encouraged to stay at the site, this is a drop-in program that allows teens to come and go. For youth needing more accountability, select programs that require parental consent to leave during the program hours.
