What Does the JCC Have to Offer Age 60+?

Senior adults have always played a special and important role in the Scranton JCC community.  Our Senior Adult programs provide an atmosphere for a great bunch of friendly, active, on-the-go folks over 60!  There are many opportunities for seniors to remain active at the JCC, including exercise and wellness programs, entertainment, socials, guest speakers, discussion groups, responsible care, movies, informal socializing, cards, Mah Jongg and board games. In addition, informal socializing at the Senior Café!
