Youth Services

The Youth Centers at Ramstein and Vogelweh are the main hubs for a wide range of programs and events for youth and families. Instructional class registration, seasonal sports registration, and open recreation for youth ages 9-12 years old are operated from these main centers. Satellite facilities and athletic fields support school-age care, instructional classes, and teen programs.

Pre-teen programming is offered in the main centers primarily after school during the school year and weekday afternoons during spring, winter, and summer breaks. The five core program areas are leadership and service, the arts, health and wellness, sports and recreation, and education. In addition to weekly activities planned within the five core areas, the centers offer other events and opportunities through their affiliation with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and 4-H. These include BGCA Youth of the Year, Keystone and Torch, and the National 4-H Youth Science day. During the winter, spring, and summer breaks, the Youth Centers also offer camps and trips.

Participation in open recreation requires membership. Registration for sports, instructional classes, and special events does not require membership; however, members will have priority registration for any spring, summer, or winter camps.

Annual base-wide events hosted or co-hosted by Youth Programs staff include Cardboard Drive-In Movie, Month of the Military Child Carnival, America’s Kids’ Run, Lights-On After School celebration, Fall Fest, and Month of the Military Family recognition.

The Teen Center is a great place where young adults can be themselves and have fun.  We offer a variety of club programming based upon the Boys and Girls Club of America and 4H Curriculum such as life skills, character and leadership, art, and career development.  Our teen center also offers clubs such as Keystone and Air Force Teen Council.

We also offer a positive place for teens to enjoy their leisure time such as video games, pool, ping pong, and studio art.  Teens ages 13 – 18 can utilize the center to reduce stress, learn an appreciation for the environment, and build social and interpersonal skills.

KMC Youth Instructional Programs offer a wide variety of programs for youth and families. They offer classes in dance, gymnastics, martial arts, and various music lessons. Classes are conducted on Ramstein Air Base (RAB) and the Vogelweh Military Complex (VMC) and class locations vary. The 6,500 sq ft Instructional Facility offers a full gymnastics gym. Three dance studios, multiple individual music facilities, and two martial arts instructional spaces are available.

Participation in instructional classes promotes more than just skill development. Our instructors strive to facilitate competence in all areas of development. Goals for physical development include; building basic gross and fine motor skills, developing a discipline for specific abilities, and committing to healthy lifestyles. Cognitively, class participation builds a broad range of critical thinking skills and ways to process experiences. One of the largest components of class participation is increased social and emotional development as youth learn to balance their needs and interests as an individual with their ability to work as a group.
