Upcoming Trips

Iceland and Northern Lights- October 17-24, 2020

Pre-tour to Washington D.C. included! A short flight (much closer than mainland Europe), mild temperatures (40-45°F), and peak viewing season for the Northern Lights make Iceland an ideal destination for October! After arriving in Reykjavik, transfer directly to the Blue Lagoon and experience the luxurious comfort of the warm lagoon water. Spend two days at an upscale hotel in Reykjavik before transitioning south for three nights. Filled with stunning natural beauty, the South Shore is the country’s most breathtaking region. $3995 Double Occupancy, $4,895 Single Occupancy. Deposit of $750 per person is due upon booking. Final payment is due on or before July 17, 2020

Depending on the season, we conduct year-round special events that are sure to entice the various interests of our membership.

Staying in shape is often a big part of maintaining good elder health. Even moderate amounts of regular physical activity can help stave off disease and improve overall well-being. The Gahanna Senior Center offers a variety of wellness activities including Yoga Gold, Zumba, Tai Chi, Forever Fit, Line Dancing and Table Tennis. Please see the most recent issue of the Senior Spotlight newsletter for a current schedule of activities.

Many of our programs would not be possible if not for the generous support of our community sponsors. Opportunities include special event sponsorships, lunch & learn meal programs, clubs & league sponsorships, among other great ways to support our programs.  Please contact the Senior Center if you would like to get involved!
