​

The Break is a teen center serving young people across McHenry County. We help the next generation of middle schoolers, high schoolers,
and young people 18-26 find tools they need to grow through adolescence to thrive into adulthood. We also rent out our teen center for youth groups,
sports teams, birthday parties, musical groups and more. Our ‘living room’ concept and creative decor comes from our members'
sense of ownership in the space and a homelike quality that makes both young people and adults comfortable and happy.

Come visit our convenient location at 6292 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, IL 60014.
