Aging well in Body. Mind. & Spirit

Active Older Adults (AOA) in the YMCA experience a strong sense of belongingness and a network of friends who provide supportive communities for sustained health and well-being. Through on-going, fun, safe, and engaging programs, activities, and events AOA members increase their self-confidence and sense of achievement while building relationships and celebrating the success and milestones of each older adult within their AOA community.

This group is for our Y members over 50 years of age. Join us for activities, fellowship, and fun. Each month we will have a different topic such as equipment demos, nutrition, games, and more.
