a variety of character building programs for youth.
Below is a description of the programs for every age
group.
E-Team (Teen

purpose of E-Team is to prepare young people
for a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth and a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to find
ways to serve God through The Salvation Army.

Kidz Klub
Kidz Klub is an
after school program that meets every Wednesday at
4:15 p.m. and includes open gym and recreation,
tutoring and the use of our computer lab, and snacks
for the children. All kids in grades 1-5 have
a great time and choose what they would like to do!
Sunbeams and
Explorers
Sunbeams and
Explorers are for boys and girls in grades 1-5.
They meet every Wednesday following Kidz Klub from
5:00-6:00 p.m. These programs are similar to
Brownies and Cub Scouts, but with a Christian
emphasis. Children earn badges, do activities,
take exciting field trips and perform service
projects for the community.

make regular visits to nursing homes and learn
leadership skills. "Just Guys" is new this
year and provides recreational programming including
basketball, kickball, flag football and other
organized events. Both of these programs are a
great way to meet new friends and have fun!

like to have fun! This group meets on the 4th Sunday every month from
