Art Classes

The Senior Center Art Class focuses on the special needs of the elderly. Classes, taught by local artist Lori Alexander, are scheduled at each of the five Senior Centers. The classes are presented in a relaxed atmosphere, encouraging seniors to work at their own pace without fear of ridicule or grade expectations. The students work in a group setting and also receive individual attention.

Exercise Classes
It is very important to keep our seniors moving and engaged. We offer a number of low-impact exercise classes that are tailored to the needs of our seniors. All our programs are monitored by professionals who are on hand for individual instructions.
Trips and Excursions
About 70 fully vaccinated and masked (except when eating and taking pictures) Council on Aging participants and staff enjoyed a very informative and fun visit to the Baton Rouge Arts and Science Museum.
Other Activities
We are always striving to provide engaging and entertaining activities for our seniors. Bingo, computer classes, special topic presentations are just a few of the many additional programs we offer.
