Parents can feel secure sending their teens to this substance-free party sponsored by the Troy, Clawson, and Auburn Hills Police Departments, School Districts, Community Coaltions, Troy Parks & Recreation, Boys & Girls Club of Troy, and Troy Families for Safe Homes. 

 

“Summer Jam Fests give teens the chance to have the Aquatic Center all to themselves and enjoy food, music, volleyball and swimming,” Troy Police Officer Nickie Kaptur said.  “It’s an opportunity to interact with each other and enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment.  There’s no question this is a great place to bring all that terrific summer teen energy.”

 

Admission is only $5.  Admission includes a $3 voucher that teens receive toward concessions.  There’s swimming, sand volleyball contests, bands, disc jockeys, water basketball, jewelry making, and more.
