Adult Education & Recreation
If you like arts and crafts, yoga, martial arts, dancing, bingo, gardening, singing alone or with others, trips to Reno or day trips in the City, talking and eating with friends – the Adult Ed/Rec is a place for you.
The Adult Education and Recreation Program is designed to promote active living and life long learning by offering opportunities for education and recreation to adults of any age. Programs are accessible for the working age adult and the active senior who are blind or visually impaired. Programs take place at the LightHouse or within the community.
