Seniors Yoga

Flexibility and strengthening your core are keys to this class that is specifically for our seniors. The class is easily adjusted for people that have limited mobility as well.

Pickleball

Pickleball is a sport described as “a combination of tennis and badminton.” It is a fun and great way to get exercise. This is one of the fastest growing games in the country and has skyrocketed in popularity at the community center. Come play the game that everyone is talking about.

Cornhole

Grab a couple of beanbags and head out to our newly painted cornhole courts located next to the community center. A timeless classic fun game for all ages!

Mixed Gentle Yoga

Exercise shouldn’t hurt and this class doesn’t disappoint. We will be paying attention to our core structures and balance with easygoing, gentle yoga poses.

Walking Club

Calling all walkers! As we walk and talk you’ll be hitting your stride and realize the heart benefits of a 1,000 steps. No need for fancy gear! Just bring comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, and your favorite ball cap! In the event of rain we will walk indoors.

Social Opportunities News Flow

Participate in an active discussion of local, national, and international current events. This is a great opportunity to share your current subscription to periodicals like Readers Digest or Time magazine as we discuss the “rest of the story” with others. Coffee is provided.
