Activities & Outings
Throughout the year, branches offer a variety of in-person events that bring older adults together in fun and engaging ways. Examples include:

Most activities require advance registration and may include a small fee based on the event.
Fitness Classes
The Y offers several dedicated fitness options just for older adults. These classes are included with membership and vary by location. Here are a few examples:
