Mission Statement
Firetree Place is a non-profit organization that engages the community through enrichment activities and provides resources that will strengthen the community as a whole. Firetree Place ensures the educational and personal enrichment of our area’s youth, families, and seniors by providing comprehensive programs, camps, workshops, and seminars.
Firetree Place is a non-profit community center focused towards youth development. We offer licensed child-care programs and strive to build stronger communities through educational, recreational, art, and social programs for the city of Williamsport and Lycoming County families. Our 21,000 square foot facility, situated on 8 acres in the heart of the city of Williamsport, includes an outdoor recreation field, outdoor basketball courts, and is home to two playgrounds. The inside of the Firetree Place facility houses a full gymnasium with a regular-sized basketball court and bleachers, performance stage, two locker rooms, four classrooms, Head Start classroom, commercial kitchen, large common area for dining and special events, and administrative offices. In addition, our new childcare wing is under construction, with a Spring 2026 opening date!
Our Programs
Firetree Place is dedicated to serving the community. We are located in the heart of downtown Williamsport where the need for affordable, high-quality programming is greatest. We offer a wide variety of youth programs, such as Before-School Care, After-School Club, Summer Camp, Preschool, recreational programs, and educational STEM programs!
Although our primary focus is youth, we also offer several adult programs. Some of the adult programs we offer throughout the year are open gym basketball, pickleball, and our Fresh Express food programs. The youth programs we offer are vital for keeping children plugged into programs that will help keep them safe, guide and mentor them, develop their potential, and enable them to succeed.
