The Overlook Has Something for Everyone
Between community-sponsored events and active social clubs, you’ll never have to search for something to engage in at The Overlook. Our Performing Arts Center is a beautiful 280-seat auditorium, and a perfect venue for musical performances, stimulating lectures and special events.
Residents have established committees that promote and support our library, recycling programs, gardening, woodworking, dining choices and other initiatives. We also encourage meaningful volunteer activities that give back to the community such as the Angel Fund, Silver Knitters and Project Linus.
It’s no wonder residents love this aspect of our lifestyle.
Keep Active With The Overlook’s Clubs
Whether you’re interested in growing the body, mind or spirit, or supporting the community, there’s a resident club that’s a good fit for you. And if there isn’t, you can start one yourself!
Residents have a club devoted to caregiving, and one that creates table decorations for our community restaurant. They also contribute to The Overlook newsletter, and take part in a spiritual circle. No matter what residents are involved in, you can bet on a sense of belonging and connection with like-minded people.
We also have more physically engaging clubs and fitness classes that promote indoor and outdoor activities – everything from walking groups to cross country skiing, hiking, aquacise, tai chi, tennis and gardening.
Music and art clubs are plentiful, including chorus, art classes, quilting and knitting, woodworking, and scrapbooking.
You can also stimulate your intellect with on-site lectures and educational courses, or engage in book club discussions, card games, billiards or cribbage.
In addition to resident clubs, our Enrichment Team organizes a wide range of weekly programs and events that will keep you as busy as you like – doing what you love! Start a social network in any way you choose in our senior living community that promotes fun and interaction!
