Youth Recreation

Youth drop-ins

Youth in grade 6-12 have exclusive access to our Youth Lounge and the gymnasium during select times. The Youth Lounge is located in the Recreation Complex and is a FREE safe space for youth in grades 6 to 12 to hang out, spend time with friends, and make new ones.  The gymnasium is open to youth only Wednesday through Saturday evenings. 

We have implemented a stricter verification procedure to ensure that drop-ins are exclusively for grades 6-12. Please bring a go-card as proof of grade, and youth might want to consider keeping a photo of it on their phone as backup. 

Youth clubs

Take part in our Middle School Youth Club. These clubs provide afterschool programs for youth in grades 6 to 8 throughout the school year. You will take part in a variety of fun activities including, cooking classes, science experiments, arts and crafts, and more! Learn more about the programs offered at two schools in Port Moody:

Each year, we award one Grade 12 student with a $1,000 scholarship. Learn more about the youth scholarship requirements and application. Please check back in February 2025.
