FUN HAS NO LIMIT
The YMCA of the Northwoods takes a health-meets-social approach to programs and activities for active older adults in the community. The Y explores opportunities to help people live healthier, more engaged lives by providing safe and effective exercise classes for all fitness levels that improve physical health and encourage wellness, social programs that strengthen connections and decrease isolation, and educational programs that stimulate learning.
