Senior Programs

A varied program of activities — including social events, day trips, health fairs, fitness programs, and classes — is offered at the four senior centers as well as all community centers. Senior center staff collaborate with County agencies to provide many services for the County's aging population including transportation to and from the centers and hot meals. Contact the respective sites to obtain membership details or for a complete schedule of events.

We offer all kinds of classes for seniors! Browse through the assortment of classes in SMARTlink to find something just right for you. (Tip: First, pick a category in sign up! to browse, and then narrow your search by age group.)
