Hey parents, ever feel like going out for a date night or a nice dinner in Carlsbad Village without always having your tween attached to your hip? Then please come drop them off at the Pine Avenue Community Center for a night of fun with their friends while you unwind from the work week.

Tweens and teens will engage in supervised cooking projects, sports, team-oriented games with prizes, Nerf wars, crafting and just about anything else they’d like to try. With access to our teen center and an experienced staff ripe with teen programming ideas, your child is going to want to come back every week.

Register your tween or teen here.
