More than 150 children and youth come to the Merrick Center every day after school and more than 600 drop-in over the weekend to play basketball. During the summer, young people attend camp at the Merrick Center each day and many more drop-in for basketball and a safe and welcoming community center. Our quality enrichment and out-of-school programming provides young people and their families with a safe space to learn, play, and develop skills that will help them thrive.
