Adult and Active Senior Programs

 

 

"Adventures in Lifelong Learning and Active Lifestyles"

We are a non-profit organization that provides exceptional learning adventures to older adults. We believe learning is a lifelong pursuit that opens minds and enriches lives. We believe sharing new ideas, challenges and experiences is rewarding in every season of life. Our participants come from every walk of life to learn together, to exchange ideas, and to explore the world.

The lifestyle interests among a select group of Baby Boomers and senior citizens shows that active recreation, especially adventurous pursuits, such as hiking and river rafting, is emerging as a top interest for older Americans. It challenges conventional thinking about "senior" recreation.

Adventure Zone's expert instructors, experienced group leaders and helpful staff create extraordinary experiences by sharing stimulating information, leading fascinating field trips and cultural excursions, and by taking care of details. As a result, our programs excite one's mind and enrich one's life. There are no grades or tests. All that's needed is an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the belief that learning and discovery are lifelong pursuits.

AZ's programming encompasses multiple dimensions of health and wellness and responds to new trends and interests that may emerge is a focus for today, especially as the Baby Boomer generation continues to move in to our communities and helps to mold the current and future programming options.

This newer interest in adventure and other forms of active versus passive recreation pursuits allow us to create the activity for you.

We have a positive attitude about outdoor recreation and do not let stereotypes get in the way of programming outdoor recreation activities. Our activities are fun, exciting, and do-able for older adults.
