To ensure everyone’s safety, MSM Night is held in a “Lock-in” fashion; once the teens sign in, they will remain in the building until pick-up time. A fee of $5.00 per teen will be paid upon arrival. No registration is required.

Middle School Mania Night is an opportunity for young teens to meet new friends and have fun in a safe environment. As with all Y-sponsored events, YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility are modeled and enforced. All participants are expected to wear attire appropriate to the Y values, including shorts and shirts of appropriate length, tennis shoes, and clothing free of inappropriate or offensive language or images.

MSM Nights could not be held without the support from the Porter Health& Wellness Fund of the Porter County Community Foundation. The Valparaiso Family YMCA is located at 1201 Cumberland Crossing Drive in Valparaiso. Check us out online at www.valpoymca.org .
