Putting the Fun back into Fitness!
The San Carlos Youth Center continues to stride for excellence in Youth Fitness! With tons of opportunities to get fit, Youth Center participants are encouraged to work-out or play for at least an hour each day.
Some of the many opportunities participants have to be active are the Youth Center’s Daily games and activities.
Every day participants are eager to get into the gym to start running around and to play the day’s game.
And let’s not forget about the daily activities we have going on at the Youth Center! With Dodgeball every week and a daily game of Basketball going on in the gym, there is no way kids can be bored! Our after-school activities include, but are not limited to: Indoor Soccer, Dodgeball, Basketball, Volleyball, Relay Races, Fitness Challenges, Jump Roping, and More! Stop by the Youth Center and pick-up a copy of our calendar with all our fun and fit activities!

Agro Club!
The return of Agro Club has been a huge success. First, Agro Club participants joined together to clean up the side yard. They got down and dirty by leveling out the ground, picking weeds, throwing away trash, and spraying the ground with weed killer. Then, Home Depot got a team together to volunteer their time and labor. They also donated all of the plants, planter boxes, stepping stones, and benches for the garden along with gift certificates to purchase other needed supplies.
The Agro Club and the Art Program joined together in the month of July. Youth Center participants made plant markers, personalized stepping stones, and a huge thank you banner and cookie flowers for the Home Depot volunteers.
Now, the Agro Club is in charge of maintaining and harvesting the garden. Agro Club participants take turns watering and harvesting the garden when the vegetables and herbs are ripe for the picking. Agro Club donated eggplants from the garden to the snack program which in turn made eggplant parmesan and our roma tomatoes are making their way into our daily snacks as well!
Agro Club looks forward to harvesting the garden during the fall. We will also be making desert terrariums that participants can take home and take care of. Let’s keep cultivating!
For more information on the Agro Club, contact Abby at the Youth Center at (650) 802-4471! We’re always looking for more “green-thumbs” to help out in the garden!
Kid’s Night Out!
Parents, the Youth Center staff knows it is hard to find time for yourself while raising active and healthy children so we have created the perfect way to give you a night off! Kid’s Night Out allows your children, K-5th grade, to experience the fun of the Youth Center while you can enjoy a night out on the town!
The Youth Center staff will provide a fun-filled night of games, activities, movies and dinner for your children from 6:00pm-10:00pm on select Friday Nights throughout the Fall! Each Kid’s Night Out costs only $30 for the first child and $15 for each additional sibling that signs up. We will provide your kids with tons of fun and supervision while you enjoy a well deserved rest!
The first two Kid’s Night Out went off with great success! Our second event sold out! In September, kids enjoyed a Jungle-themed evening with animal masks and a Jungle-themed dinner while watching Madagascar. On our most recent Kid’s Night Out, participants were encouraged to use their imagination with an Egg Drop and watching the movie Robots. Each Kid’s Night Out is creatively themed and full of tons of fun and memories!
For more information on our next Kid’s Night Out, please call the Youth Center at (650) 802-4471. Sign up early for the next few Kid’s Night Out as they are filling up quickly! Treat yourself to a night off, while your kids enjoy the fun the Youth Center creates!
