What are some weekend activities for senior citizens?

Weekend activities for senior citizens include outdoor adventures, such as fishing, gardening, hiking and bird watching, and gentle exercise, such as walking, yoga or water aerobics. A weekend trip with family and friends to a bed and breakfast, resort or casino may also provide entertainment and companionship for senior citizens.

Indoor weekend activities such as scrapbooking with a group of friends may provide an opportunity to reminisce about memories and past adventures while preserving and organizing mementos as a keepsake. A senior citizen prom or dance can provide weekend entertainment in addition to exercise. Additional indoor activities include making homemade jewelry with beads and cords, sewing a quilt or blanket, journaling at a writing retreat or taking a computer class to promote technological skills.

A weekend getaway to a winery or vineyard can serve as a romantic getaway or reunion with friends and family. Jetting off to a remote area offers opportunities to take a walk through the woods, hike scenic areas and discover treasures when participating in letter boxing or a scavenger hunt.

Creative types can set up a natural platform to paint, take photos or write poetry when retreating to a cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. Athletic types can venture outside to play a game of golf in a senior league or exercise with a group at a local recreation center or park.
