In addition to our Drop-In Centre (commonly known in the community as NOOPA), where youth can come and participate in activities, such as arts and crafts, have access to computers, games and entertainment, our Club organizes a multitude of special events such as karaoke, scavenger hunts, barbeques and tournaments. For some youth, our Club is simply a place to come and ‘hang-out’. Others, however, require some community services. Our goal is to provide constructive leisure activities while developing a support network around the youth to meet their individual needs.

The Sprockids mountain biking program provides youth opportunities to experience one of the Cariboo’s best recreational activities and allows key relationships between workers and youth to develop. During the winter months, the program shifts gears to Ski-Kids, and continues on at Bull Mountain and Mt. Timothy. Our Club provides equipment if youth require it.

We also have a “Homework Club”, which gives children and youth help with their studies. It is one way in which our Club believes we can help keep youth in school.
