The Youth Center strives to meet this goal by providing a variety of activities including team sports, health and fitness programs, instructional classes, and special trips. For working parents, we offer year round recreational child care through our School Age Program, Holiday Camps, and Summer Day Camp

We offer numerous recreational activities. The game room is equipped with video games,board games, billiards and air hockey. We try to offer something for everyone! If you enjoy physical activities, play basketball or volleyball in the gym! If you’re thirsty or hungry, stop by the snack bar for drinks and light refreshments. Don’t forget to check out our computer area, too! For our teens, we offer a room just for them. It is equipped with a big screen TV, stereo system, and comfortable furniture.

The Youth Program Staff is eager to meet and work with all our young people and their parents. The Youth Programs at Sheppard AFB gets better as more people get involved and volunteer in our program. We are always recruiting volunteers for coaching, and as chaperones for dances and trips. We want our program to have family appeal. We encourage each parent to get involved in their children's leisure time activities. It will be a very positive and rewarding experience for the entire family!
