The Youth Room is a fun place for students currently enrolled in 5th - 8th grade to engage with staff while participating in activities such as board games, video games, movies, tournaments, and more! 

This much needed space is the place to be for the youth of Lake Elsinore to congregate, create, chill, and cooperate (the 4 Cs). A small space with a big impact, The DENC works as a proof of concept that giving our youth a safe place to relax and mingle with friends along with City employees will lead to a stronger connection to our youth population, and further development of the City’s Youth programming.

Youth will need a Youth Room Membership to enter the Youth Room. Memberships costs $5.00 for the 2022/2023 school year. Click HERE to register. Those wishing to enroll must have a completed Welcome Packet signed by their parent or guardian. Youth Room Welcome Packet
