Young-at-heart seniors enjoy camp adventure at Rochester YMCA
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Over at the YMCA, young-at-heart seniors came together for a day at camp, the active older adult celebration provides members with an afternoon of fun and adventure.
During the event, seniors get experiences similar to those offered in the YMCA's Summer Camp for Kids. They can zipline, take boat rides, participate in arts and crafts, and more.
It's all to let them embrace their inner youth, as well as promoting fitness and health in older adults.
'It really encourages the active older adult programming that we have across the association, and that is being active both physically mentally socially and spiritually and coming together as one,' YMCA of Greater ROC – AOA Engagement Manager Tyler Leisten said. 'It really just shows the communities that you're able to build and that at any age you're able to do everything and anything and we're just trying to encourage that.'
The event returned for its second year after being shut down in 2020, continuing to ensure that its nearly 300 participants can still be active and adventurous.
