“Senior Boot Camp” is back on Thursday, March 21, 2024!

Published

on

The Senior Activity Center members have been drafted to compete in the 2024 Senior Boot Camp. This event initially began in 2012 and ran annually until 2019.  It is now making its triumphant post-covid return on Thursday, March 21, 2024 from 10:00am-1:30pm at the Dominican University Hennessy Center in Blauvelt, NY.  120 Meals on Wheels Senior Activity Center participants are expected to attend the return of one of their favorite events.  These Seniors attend one of our four centers across the county, Clarkstown-Pearl River, Nyack, Orangetown and Ramapo. 

The Seniors will be participating in ten events, including cup stacking, duck memory game, soccer kicking, flickin’ chicken and a good old fashioned shell game.  Senior Boot Camp is a fun way for Senior Activity Center members to come together and stretch their bodies and minds. It encourages exercise and movement within our seniors, enjoy some friendly competition and definitely brings smiles!  At the end of the event, there will be a performance by an all-Senior musical group, The Music Makers.  We also have some fun surprises planned.   Additionally, there will be 28 vendors with services related to Senior needs.  We are grateful for our Platinum and Gold Sponsors, Jessica Kiely, PC, Estate Planning & Elder Law, The Esplanade at Palisades, Emerald Medicare, WellCare of New York Inc., Montefiore Nyack and The Willows at Ramapo Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, for making this event possible.

With our partners at Dominican University, our seniors will have fun participating in different challenges alongside university students and student athletes.  Intergenerational interactions are vital as they strengthen the community and can help prevent the feelings of isolation and loneliness that may come with age.  Meals on Wheels Senior Activity Centers is a program supported in part by the Rockland County Office for the Aging, the New York State Office for the Aging, the Administration on Aging and the County of Rockland.
