National ACTIVE AGING WEEK at Groton Senior Center
ALL WEEK Sept 25-29th we have gone out of our way to plan and schedule some fantastic extras for you here at Groton Senior Center because it is National ACTIVE AGING WEEK! The objective of the annual health-promotion event is to give as many older adults as possible the means to experience wellness activities and exercise in a safe, supportive environment. It also promotes the benefits of healthier, more active lifestyles across the life span.
Please take the time to look over our week long schedule and come in and see what we have for you! These are in addition, to our regularly scheduled programs!
Almost all are free! Take part in the many free presentations, get your flu shot, join us for free coffee and pastries for one of the great new COFFEE WITH … and much more! For example, we have samples of our two new classes: Chair Zumba and Senior Karate for any of our patrons to check out!
Then, Friday Sept 29th is our BOLD excursion to Fields of Fire Adventure Park (of Mystic)! Last few years, we have had such a fun groups of 55+ adventurers take on the challenge of climbing the ropes courses (varying course levels like a ski resort) and then happily zip lining through the grand outdoors! There is a fee (quite discounted!) of $32 per person for the 3 hours of FUN. Then we have a treat from Rita’s! (yum!) Please call 860-441-6623 to join this outing!
