To meet the needs and desires of this demographic, programs of all shapes and sizes come into play. Local seniors can choose from two levels of hiking, 55+ line dancing, ski clinics (downhill and cross country), 55+ mountain /e-biking, Thursday morning Conversation Café programming, and a variety of group fitness options and seasonal favorites including trips, bocce ball , moonlight hikes, and more!

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

New programs added to the active adult line-up have attempted to meet the needs of the changing local population. Since the pandemic, there are at least a 1,000 new friendly faces in town looking for fun, fitness, mental stimulation, and community engagement.

The IVGID programming staff has stepped up to address those needs with enthusiasm. Despite the lingering effects of pandemic restrictions, participation in group activities and community engagement is slowly resuming to pre-Covid levels. Efforts to bring residents together have been successful. Recorded data shows increased program attendance with new residents reaching out to meet their neighbors and get to know their community. Mission accomplished for the programming staff!

GOALS

• Continue to be cognizant of the trends and needs of the community demographic served.

• Maintain fiscal responsibility in generating revenue and offering affordability to promote maximum participation for all local seniors.

• Pursue programming specifically designed to meet physical and mental health needs of seniors; to support aging in place in a safe, productive, and socially rewarding environment.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Documented comments reinforce the general sentiment that Incline Village & Crystal Bay residents are grateful for the varied opportunities available to them in this small, close-knit community. In addition to the many programs geared toward physical well-being, Senior Programs staff actively incorporates mental stimulation and social interaction components in all activities, necessary for a healthy aging population.
