Lifelong Recreation for Adults 50+

Classes

Lifelong Recreation programs focus on physical activity, social engagement, education, arts, creativity, and healthy lifestyles.  Recreational programs are designed to serve adults of all abilities - those who are physically active, those who are just becoming active, and programs for those who have age-related limitations.  Lifelong Recreation programs are aimed at increasing individual health and wellness while fostering a stronger, healthier community.  Many of our participants boast about completing a half marathon each year, making meaningful social connections, losing weight, increasing flexibility and balance, and travelling to regional destinations. Join the fun if you're 50+ ! Follow Lifelong Recreation on Facebook
