Senior Center Information & Activities
"Energize Your Life" at any of the 19 senior centers located throughout Baltimore County. Suddenly there is a whole new world to explore and experience. Just by passing the milestone of being 60 years or older you can improve your mind, enliven your body and lift your spirits. Haven't you ever wanted to play the piano, make a stained glass window, beautify your garden or create works of art? It's all here at your fingertips. Cycle along the B&O canal, train for a 5K run, shoot hoops, or travel abroad. Meet new friends, discuss current events, eat a meal, attend a health screening or teach a class. The opportunities you've waited a lifetime to take advantage of are right here at one of our nationally accredited senior centers.
There are no dues or membership fees, but charges may apply for some individual classes, trips, parties, etc. Please inquire at your local senior center about fees which might apply.
Coming Soon! The new Arbutus Senior Center is currently under construction and will be opening in the Fall of 2010 in Arbutus, MD. The Jacksonville Senior Center will be relocated to its new location in Sweet Air Park in the Fall of 2010.
Fitness Centers
Eight of our regional senior centers, Ateaze, Bykota, Catonsville, Cockeysville, Liberty, Parkville, Pikesville, and Seven Oaks all have senior-friendly fitness centers that are operated in partnership with Towson University's College of Health Professions. Each one has state-of-the-art equipment designed to improve the cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, strength and muscular endurance of older adults. All senior fitness center participants receive an individualized exercise prescription and a thorough orientation following medical clearance by their physician.
This evidence-based cardio, strength-training and balance exercise program is now offered at six senior centers.
Holiday Celebrations
Baltimore County Senior Centers celebrate holidays with multiple events through the county. To learn more about current activities at the senior center near you, check out our center newsletters.
Volunteer Opportunities
Each county senior center has a Center Council, comprised of elected board members, who work to enhance the department's services and programs to older adults. As a non-profit organization, these volunteers are critical to the operation of senior centers. Volunteer opportunities range from serving as a receptionist to chairing a fundraising committee, to teaching a class.
