Mission and values
We are a local group of parents operating as a nonprofit, focused on highlighting and creating tech-free adventures for students aged 10-14. Partnering with BARN, we facilitate accessible workshops held during after-school hours and weekends, emphasizing screen independence.
Community
Enable your tween to join a supportive circle that encourages discovery and genuine play for life, away from the intense expectations of organized extracurriculars and academics.
Real connections
Forging deep social ties through collective participation and local initiatives that value personal interaction over digital devices.
Balance
Help your teen find their center. Through our BARN partnership, they can explore diverse interests while gaining practical abilities and simply enjoying themselves.
Fun
Youthness is for joy. While they'll certainly acquire new talents, the main goal is ensuring those weekend and after-school hours are filled with absolute amusement.
How it works
Families can register to discover affordable, analog entertainment options. In collaboration with BARN, we've launched the BARN Youth Club, while showcasing vital enrichment from local partners such as BI Parks and the TableTop Enclave to keep our adolescents engaged in the real world.
