Teen Programs
Our Teen Programming will return Fall 2026!
Introducing… POP-UP LOUNGE!
For 9th-12th graders in HHS | Mondays (during the school year) after school | FREE | located in our rear building
A brand-new afterschool space for students of Honesdale High School, happening Mondays beginning September 21!
Pop-Up Lounge is a pilot program for the 2026-27 school year and is currently open only to HHS and Wayne Highlands homeschool students. We’re starting small in the Wayne Highlands School District and hope to learn and grow from the experience!
Whether you loved Pop-Up Club during your middle school years or never participated, Pop-Up Lounge has a similar vibe with more freedom and flexibility. Students will help shape the program as the year goes on, giving them a chance to decide what they’d like to do, learn, and experience together.
And don’t worry: snacks are still an integral part of every Lounge!
Once we have a permission slip on file, students can sign up for individual Mondays with Mrs. Roberts in the HHS library. There’s no commitment to attend every week! On Mondays, students will catch the bus down to The Cooperage Project’s rear building, then get picked up or take the activity bus home at 5pm.
Have questions? Visit Mrs. Roberts in the HHS library or email Jess at jessica@thecooperageproject.org.
TEEN OPEN MIC + KARAOKE
For 9th-12th graders | 1st Saturday of the Month (during the school year) | 7-9pm | FREE | located in our rear building
High school students from any school (or homeschool!) are invited to drop in to the Teen Open Mic + Karaoke Night. Bring your instruments or top karaoke picks, slam poetry, original short acts, or any other performance pieces… or just come hang out, eat snacks, and cheer on the performers. Most months this low key, low stress evening is held in our rear building, but occasionally we’ll take to The Cooperage Project’s main stage, complete with lights and professional sound board!
Notice to Adults: For the safety of our teens, this event is not open to parents and general members of the public. If your student requires an adult chaperone or assistant, please reach out to our Youth Programs Coordinator to discuss (jessica@thecooperageproject.org); we can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
