Club Friday is an energetic program for children in grades three through six. It is the "in" thing for children to attend each Friday of the month from October through March except when school is not in session. An annual fee is required to register for the program, and membership is limited to the first 550 applicants. Registration takes place between September 1 and 10; a waiting list will be maintained for memberships if they become available. The center also requires that one parent for each member volunteers at least once during the Club Friday year.
After-Hours is a program similar to Club Friday for youth in grades 6 through 8. It meets on the first Friday of each month from 9:15 - 11:00pm. Membership is at the reduced rate of $25 for October and April. Guest must register each time and pay $5 at the door.
