Dear Newcomers,
We are excited you will be coming to Robins Air Force Base to
live. Our youth sponsors are here to welcome you and help make
your transition to your new home. When you arrive on base please
stop by the Youth Center and one of the Torch or Keystone Club
members or a staff member will provide you an orientation.
Parents are welcome at any time.
Youth Programs is for ages 9 – 18. We have a before and after
school program for youth ages 5-12. If you have siblings younger
than 5 who require child care we have 2 Child Development
Centers.
We have a terrific Youth Program and great youth. We know you
will have fun and make lots of new friends while you are
here. Membership is reasonable, $ 1 a day, $20 quarterly or $40
yearly. Your first visit to the Youth Center is free so please
come by and visit us. We also have a web site that you are
welcome to check out and view some of the great activities we
offer such as Torch Club, 4-H, Fit Factor, Smart Moves, Power
Hour, and Arts and Crafts. The gym and computer room are
available for your use daily. We offer special events such as
dances, field trips, and skate parties for the youth. Once a
month we offer Give Parents a Break/Give Kids a Break for ages
5 – 12. This activity is free with a voucher or $15 per
child. Youth participating in Give Parents a Break are provided
dinner and a snack and fun activities for the kids.
If you enjoy sports our program offers spring and fall soccer,
baseball, flag football, cheerleading, and basketball to include
clinics/camps during the summer such as soccer, tennis,
basketball, dance and volleyball.
There are 3 malls in the local area, the Galleria Mall, Macon
Mall and the River Walk Mall. There are several movie theaters
in the area and Houston County has 20 elementary schools, 7
middle schools and 6 high schools. Traveling 2 hours north you
can be in Atlanta that offers a wide variety of entertainment,
museums, amusement parks (White waters, Six flags and Stone
Mountain). In the same area is Helen, Ga. and the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Traveling 3 hours south to Valdosta GA is an
amusement park named Wild Adventures that many youth enjoy going
to. Three hours Southeast of the base is Savannah GA where you
can enjoy the beach, or your family can take a trip 4 hours
south to Florida where you will find theme parks, museums, and
beaches. The Information Ticket and Tours (ITT) office has
discount tickets you can purchase.
Again, welcome to Robins Air Force Base we are excited about
your anticipated arrival and you being a part of our community.
