Creative Aging
Creative Aging
Creative Aging is not just about creative expression; it’s about living life to the fullest, celebrating individuality, fostering connections, and embracing the joy of lifelong learning. Creative Aging fosters a welcoming environment for all individuals to live their best lives through learning new skills, keeping active, and most importantly, socializing. Below is registration for all Creative Aging programs.
PrimeTime Wellness Club
The Primetime Wellness Club at the Mandel JCC is a twice-monthly program designed for active adults who want to stay sharp, strong, and socially connected. Each session includes guided movement, a healthy lunch, and fun, engaging activities that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being – all in a warm, welcoming
community setting.
Lunch Plus
Lunch Plus is an opportunity for individuals ages 60 and over as well as adults with disabilities to socialize, learn, explore and enjoy a Kosher lunch together. Through interactive programming, we help foster relationships and strengthen bonds between and among generations – reducing isolation and loneliness while increasing self-esteem and connectedness.
