Senior Programs

Shaker Recreation is making weekly check in calls to seniors during the ongoing pandemic to help them stay connected and to ensure that their needs are being met. If you have an older neighbor, friend, or loved one living in Shaker that may need help during the upcoming months, please refer them for our weekly check in calls. You can sign someone up for our call list by sending their name and phone number to recreation@shakeronline.com. It is helpful for the senior to be aware of your referral so they are not caught off guard by our calls. 

The Recreation Department offers a variety of classes, including fitness, foreign language, and more. The Department also holds luncheon and other social events for adults ages 50 and up. At this time, senior programming options are limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit our registration page for more details about our current offerings.
