Plenty of Other Fun Activities

In addition to gaming, you can hang out, watch movies on the big screen, or cook in our spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Your wishes are heard, and you can participate in planning and implementing youth center activities.

Besides open activities, we organize trips, events, and group activities. You can discuss anything on your mind with the youth instructors.
