Teen Take Over
Join us for Teen Takeover, a night where the Secrest Recreation Center is all yours. Hang out with friends and enjoy a variety of activities just for teens.

Come take over the night.
Dungeons and Dragons (DND)
The Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) programs for teens include one-shot sessions for a single, no-commitment adventure and a multi-session mini-campaign for those who want a longer-term quest. Whether a player is new to the game or a seasoned veteran, these programs provide a creative and social outlet for teens to explore the world of tabletop roleplaying.

All the dye and materials are provided, so bring your imagination and get ready to make something unique.
Safe Sitter
Safe Sitter with CPR
Safe Sitter prepares students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they're home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. Students learn life-saving skills, such as how to rescue someone who's choking, and helpful information, like what to do in the event of severe weather. The lessons are filled with fun activities and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use CPR manikins to practice choking rescue and CPR.
Safe@Home
Safe@Home by Safe Sitter is a program designed for students in grades 4-6 to prepare them for safe situations when they are home alone.
