Summer is the perfect time to freshen up your day, seniors, and the Bulloch County Recreation & Parks Adult 50+ Program is ready to help you do just that. Whether you are new to Statesboro or Bulloch County, looking for something meaningful, or just need a reason to leave the house, you can add a little fun, fitness, and friendship to your daily routine, especially during the ‘Dog Days of Summer’ where a little air conditioning and a lot of laughter go a long way!
The Adults 50+ program is about movement, relationships, and building community. Bring a friend (or two!) and drop by the Honey Bowen Building to explore membership and see what all the fun is about. ‘Chit chatting’ and ‘time to connect’ are just the beginning. See the great lineup and discover the programs that make their Adult 50+ community one of the livliest in town.
“All classes will continue this summer, and the majority of our seniors really want to stay active," Tiffany Burgess, Program Supervisor, said. "Some of my exercise classes average 25 participants, and we’re even looking to add more to the mix!”
The following classes are offered as part of the program:
- Sit Fit Classes – Stay moving, stay seated; perfect for all levels.
- Chair Yoga & Chair Volleyball – Flexibility, fitness, and fun with friends.
- Walking Classes at Mill Creek Park – Enjoy a relaxing walking class in nature.
- Silver Liners Line Dance (Thursdays) – Great exercise, join a groovy line dancing class with other Adults 50+ members; enjoy great music and company.
“Keeping our body moving is so important for everything from joint pain to keeping our brain alert," added Burgess.
Enjoy exciting games like Bingo and Scrabble, too, share delicious meals and celebrate special occasions with great company, and explore new places on monthly field trips every second Friday—though these will be paused during June through August due to the summer heat.
“New faces walk in the door every week, and longtime members welcome them with open arms,” Burgess shared, adding that it's "a great place to mingle with fun people!”
Sound like fun? Join the crew today! An Adults 50+ Program membership gives you access to all the facilities and programs offered at the Statesboro location, with a Brooklet location coming this fall. Membership is just $40/ year, which covers both locations. But you can join now for $25 through December!
“Some people pay $40 a month for similar programs — this is truly a steal for an entire year,” concluded Burgess.
