Free Teen Nights at The BASE Otero: Dates and Times

The BASE Otero in Alamogordo holds free Teen Nights for local students on Wednesday evenings, one set of nights for high schoolers and another for middle schoolers. High School Teen Night runs from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and Middle School Teen Night runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Entry is free, and teens should bring their school ID.

What is Teen Night at The BASE Otero?

The BASE Otero is the community youth center at 201 Dale Scott Ave. in Alamogordo, the former Boys and Girls Club. Its Teen Nights give students a free place to go on a weeknight evening. The center's event listings for High School Teen Night and Middle School Teen Night both say entry is free and ask teens to bring a school ID.

When are the next Teen Nights?

Here are the upcoming dates posted by The BASE Otero. There is no Teen Night on a fifth Wednesday.

November 25 is the night before Thanksgiving, during the Alamogordo Public Schools fall break, and December 23 falls during winter break, so it is a good idea to check the center's events page or call before heading over on those nights.

Who can go, and what does it cost?

Teen Night is free. High School Teen Night is for high school students and Middle School Teen Night is for middle school students, and the center asks everyone to bring a school ID. For questions about who can attend or what is planned that night, call The BASE Otero at (575) 488-2273 or email info@baseotero.org.

How else is The BASE Otero helping local kids?

The center runs before and after school programs, and at a local meeting on November 10, its CEO said the program is full, with a waiting list of more than 50 kids. This time of year, its biggest fundraiser, Winter Wonderland, is underway with First American Bank. The decorated Christmas trees are on display at the bank's Alamogordo branch, 1300 N. White Sands Blvd., through Thursday, December 3, and anyone can stop by during banking hours to see them.

Why does this matter for families moving here?

When families move to Alamogordo, especially Holloman families who arrive mid school year, one of the first questions is where the kids can make friends. A free, supervised Wednesday night out is a great answer for teens. My Holloman AFB relocation guide has more on getting settled, and I am always happy to talk about neighborhoods close to the schools and activities your family will use.
