Teen Game Night

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Join us for Teen Game Night — a relaxed, supportive evening of tabletop games designed just for teens ages 15–18. This is not therapy. It’s simply a great chance to hang out, meet other teens, and enjoy some friendly competition in a welcoming environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned board game strategist or just looking for something fun to do on a Friday night, you’re welcome here.

Evenings are casual and game-driven. These game nights are for teens who enjoy games, can follow the rules, and like playing with others.

FAQS:

Do I have to register for all the game nights?

No, you register for each individually, you can pick 1, 2, or all three.

Can I come for just part of the time?

We ask that you arrive on time, so we can get the party started. We also ask that if you start a game, you at least stay until you’ve completed the game, if at all possible.

Do I need a parent to bring me?

No, if you drive, you can bring yourself. However, We do have a couple of forms we will send gamers for them and their parents to complete.

Can I bring my own food? You can bring non messy snacks. We will have water and popcorn available.
