Our Youth Snow Day Drop-in Program offers a warm and safe place for youth ages 7 and older while their parents work. All youth are welcome.

Children under 12 must have a parent or guardian with them at drop-off to complete a short intake form. Parents should send lunch and snacks for their children. We will not provide food. To save time, you can print out and complete the intake form ahead of time.
