OFTC 20th Anniversary Block Party!
The Old Firehouse Teen Center is celebrating its 20th year of serving area teens! The entire community is invited, including past and present members and staff, families, and friends as well as anyone who has ever visited our center (or wanted to!).
Help us celebrate this special occasion! It's a 20th anniversary, a reunion and a grand re-opening! We'll have lots of food, fun, music and more! Spread the word!
Friday Nights
Friday nights are full of fun at the Teen Center for 7th and 8th graders. Some nights a DJ keeps the fun alive with music and videos while the game room is open for ping-pong, pool and other arcade games. Other nights we do different fun things such as movie nights, comedy shows, etc.
Notes: Dances are supervised by Teen Center staff. Snacks and drinks are available from our vending machines. We follow the FCPS dress code. A parent/guardian (18 or older) must escort teens in and out.
Time: 7-10 p.m. Pickup starts at 9:45 p.m.
Cost: $5 member; $10 non-member. A Non-Member Waiver must be completed and signed for each school year. No tickets or registration required unless otherwise noted.
