I have to leave my mini me at home, or she would spend every dime in here. One tip about the Girl Scout shop is ... include a small dressing room. I love "A Place for Girls" and the setup of the outdoors areas. They are so many pavilion areas, and widely covered by trees too. The classes and event offered here are amazing, I just really wish there was something. Similar in Norfolk. It took me an hour to get to this location from the VA Beach Oceana area.

Armed Services YMCA Hampton Roads is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to strengthening military…read morefamilies through programs tailored to the unique challenges of military life -- especially those faced by junior enlisted personnel and their families. At its core, ASYMCA Hampton Roads focuses on fostering connection, resilience, and opportunity for military members and their loved ones by providing supportive services that enhance well-being in spirit, mind, and body. Programs span child development, education, and family support with offerings like Operation Little Learners -- an interactive early education and development initiative for toddlers and preschool-aged children -- plus before & after-school care, engaging summer camps, and fun family events throughout the year. These programs are designed to build confidence and community while alleviating stresses often associated with military life, such as frequent moves or deployment cycles. Beyond youth enrichment, ASYMCA Hampton Roads runs annual community building events, emergency services like Patriot's Pantry (providing food and basic supplies at no cost to active duty families), and specialized assistance like Operation Ride Home, which helps military families with holiday travel expenses. With a focus on meeting real military-family needs and filling gaps in support networks, this organization partners with installation leadership and community groups to create accessible, impactful programs for all who serve.
