Dru Pippin Youth Center
Dru Pippin Youth Center offers a range of activities for youth in sixth through 12th grades. Youth must be registered with Child and Youth Services to attend events there.
According to Scott Shuffler, MWR Middle School and Teen Program director, programs at the youth center provide affordable, oftentimes free, supervised opportunities for middle and high school students to visit area attractions with their friends.
“I always look forward to the trips and other events at Dru Pippin Youth Center because … those memories will travel with these youth wherever their families are stationed after being at Fort Leonard Wood,” Shuffler said.
