Recreation
ServicesThe Recreation Services Department at St. Camillus offers a creative program of activities that caters to the diverse needs and interests of our residents. Our well-trained staff strive to know each resident’s interests, hobbies, and life roles so that we can individualize a recreation program that will provide pleasure and comfort, offer opportunities to learn new skills and socialize with others, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment. Our innovative program offers a bit of something for everyone:
Specialized Classes and Clubs: We offer a variety of classes and clubs that cater to residents who may have had previous involvement in similar groups or who just want to try out something new. Examples of these groups include Nature Education, Chi Kung, Watercolor Class, Creative Arts, Memory Enhancement, Scrapbooking, Veteran’s Club, Spanish Class, Chorus, Supper Club, and Red Hat Society. Some of these classes and clubs are offered at different levels, which allows us to simplify the activity for residents with memory loss and cognitive impairment.
Men’s Groups: From Veteran’s Club to the Golden Scouts (a senior scouting program that occasionally meets with local Cub Scout and Boy Scout troops), antique car shows, and sporting events, we offer a range of activities that are of interest to our male participants.
Younger Adults: For the 65 and under crowd, our "Younger Generation" group plans and organizes the activities they’d like to enjoy, such as sporting events, socials, movies, dining out, concerts, and other community events for younger people. They also enjoy getting together with other younger adults from area facilities, sharing camaraderie throughout the year.
Community Outings: Residents who enjoy getting out and about can choose from a range of exciting events, including trips to shops, restaurants, concerts, sporting events, and fishing venues.
The above is just a small taste of what we offer. Please see the daily and monthly activity calendars for a more comprehensive look at our offerings. If you don’t see something that is of interest to you, let us know. We love a challenge and are always on the lookout for new ideas!
