NEW Active Adult Programs in Fall 2013

We are dedicated to developing MORE Active Living programs for ADULTS at the Decatur Recreation Center. So thank you all for taking the survey to give us your thoughts on what activities you seek, time of day/days of week, and levels. The survey is still open for those who haven’t had a chance to chime in yet. Winter programming ideas are on our radar now, so include any wishes in the survey or just comment here in the blog. Active Adult Programs Survey

Now, what do we have in store? Well it’s all in the Fall 2013 playbook (which should hit the streets around Labor Day) and once published, the online version is also available anytime you need it.

NEW on the schedule this Fall are numerous ways to stay active, find cultural enrichment, and opportunities to try other things and make friends:

• NIA – a dance energy class

• Google for Seniors – a free hands-on session for 60+ city residents only
• Holiday crafts: Jewelry, Sculpting, Book-making – a series of crafts to make handmade gifts for the holidays
