Now located next to the Great Hall, with our entrance off of St. Lawrence way, Family Point provides activities and entertainment for those under 18 and their families.

The Family Point Lounge serves as our “info point”, as well as hosting playgroups and parent meetups. The new Family Courtyard provides a safe space for younger children to play. 

3-9 year olds and their adult/teen helper can enjoy scheduled crafts and activities in our Family Point Tent, while our YouthU tent has classes designed for those 8-12 to enjoy. 

For our older youth, the Teen Lounge occupies half the YouthU tent, and is open for both scheduled games, classes, and activities, as well as providing a hangout space for older kids. TeenU exists to allow those 13-17 to take classes designed for adults in a lower-intensity environment, as well as teen specific classes. 

The Family Point Complex is open and staffed from 9-5 each day, from Tues 7/29 -Tues 8/5, as well as Thurs 8/7. We are closed 8/6 to accommodate the Children’s Fete, Water Battle, and Midnight Madness. At night, Family Point is transformed into our Teen Lounge, open from 7-10pm 7/29-8/5.
