Aging Well in Body, Mind and Spirit
Your health and physical wellbeing are important, no matter your age. Sampson County YMCA offers active older adults opportunities to maintain healthy lifestyles, healthy relationships and positive outlooks on life. Older adults who stay active live longer and have better functional conditioning. That is why the Y provides classes, programs and events suited for this age group. Our Active Older Adults (AOA) programs are designed for ages 50 and older.
By connecting with adult advisers, teens have role models and mentors who make a positive impact on their lives while teaching them the importance of social responsibility and service within the community. Weekly, they work on leadership skills, physical fitness and volunteer opportunities.
