There is more diversity in people 55 and over than in any other age group. Diversity in education, experience, travel, employment, health, mobility, and more cannot be anymore varied. Then you take into account where you live and have lived, with whom you live, ethnicity and religion. When it comes to recreation opportunities and experiences for those over 55 cannot be anymore varied. It also cannot be more important.
Age is just a number, mobility is a daily reality. When you combine traits mentioned above in the countless number of ways possible, the ideas for recreation are endless.
When I think of recreation I think of sports activities, hobbies, and travel! Travel just may be my favorite. What is yours? Here at Winter Grace Senior Ministries we want to make you aware of the myriad of recreational activities available near and far. Churches can, in fact, be centers of these activities. County Senior Centers can be as well. Let’s explore our world, be active and involved. Fight health conditions with frequent recreation.
I have linked to an article from National Recreation and Park Association. I hope you will give it a read. What do you think? What do you do for recreation? Let’s get moving. Stay engaged. Stay active. Let’s recreate! (Keep checking back for details of opportunities.)
