For a decade, “Teen Night” at The Funhouse has been a valuable resource for teens and their families on Orcas.

In 2009, it averaged 40 teen visits every Friday and Saturday night, or roughly 4,000 visits for the year.

However, even successful programs can always be improved. In that spirit, The Funhouse inviting anyone and everyone to The Funhouse for a community meeting about Teen Night.

“We want to ensure that teens and parents are satisfied with the current program and that Teen Night is meeting community needs,” say The Funhouse staff.

Questions they will address include:

• Should parents be more or less involved? How can we get them to participate?

• Do parents see Teen Night as a safe option for teens? If not, what can we do to make it safer while still appealing to teens?

• Do teens see teen night as safe and fun? If not, how do we get them more involved in creating that environment?

• Should we implement a “lock-in” system or “check-in/out” system for Teen Night?

• Is the current middle school policy working? Should we have more or less time dedicated to middle school hours?

Join The Funhouse staff on Wednesday, June 23 at 5 p.m. to discuss Teen Night issues. Treats and refreshments will be provided.
