SUMMER STAYCATION
Before you plan that big summer get away have a look at the Silver Threads Services Summer Program Guide. Now that we have moved to a seasonal calendar you can plan ahead and take the opportunity to continue with your favourite activities and also branch out and try something new. Think about how great it would be to stay home, not have to pack, go through airport security, and jetlag. We can help you avoid the travel hassle and the expense! Wouldn’t you rather hang with us?
Some of the new offerings include Hula Dance, I mean really, how much fun would that be this summer? It’ll be like a little trip to Hawaii! We will even get you a grass skirt. Or if Music is more your thing, Beginner Ukulele classes are on Fridays and will give you a Hawaiian vibe. Both are offered at the Victoria Centre.
Or maybe you liked going on cruises, and playing shuffleboard while you were at sea. At the Saanich Centre you can play Floor Shuffleboard with your shipmates and have a great “time away.” Or how about a trip around the neighbourhood, our Wednesday morning Walking Group departs from Saanich at 10:00am and with our leader you will discover new trails and walking paths and great chats with others.
Our Summer Program Guide is now available on our website Programs & Events | Silver Threads or stop by the Centres and pick one up.
