Summer Activities For Seniors
With the sun shining outside and summer in full swing, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the lovely weather outside. Located in Durham, NC, Croasdaile Village brings you so many ways to enjoy the beautiful summer weather and cool off indoors when the temperatures get too hot. Here are some of our favorite summer activities for seniors at Croasdaile Village and our surrounding area, with tips on how to beat the heat!
Start Early to Avoid High Temperatures
Croasdaile Village has so many things to do right on campus, including the beautiful Sparks Park and Boles Lake as well as our walking paths, dog park, and sports courts. Our community offers more than 15-miles of paved trails that run alongside lakes, woodlands, meadows, and wildflowers. As the day goes on, temperatures tend to increase, so make the most of your outdoor time by planning activities for the morning, before the heat peaks, or in the evening, after it has cooled down. Take a stroll, ride a bike, or plan a picnic. If you are out in the sun, choose shaded areas and paths, and don’t forget your hat, water bottle, and sunscreen. It’s easy to become dehydrated or sunburned when it’s hot outside, which is why summer safety for seniors is important.
Take the Fun Indoors!
When the sun is too intense or a rainy day disrupts your plans, Croasdaile Village has so many indoor summer activities for seniors to enjoy! Join one of our many clubs, sit in on an art class, go dancing, or visit the fitness center. Want a bite to eat? Visit one of Croasdaile Village’s five dining venues, each offering a different culinary experience. Enjoy quick bites at the Bistro and Pub, casual fare at the Bistro and Main Dining Room, and fine dining in the Azalea Dining Room. Whether it’s raining or shining or too-hot-to-enjoy, there’s always something exciting happening at Croasdaile Village!
Cool Off in the Water
