News, Events & links

For Seniors 50 and older/wiser: The events below are paced and scaled to be age-appropriate.  They do not require super-athletic ability, but participants should be reasonably active, without significant movement limitations (significant overweightedness or low fitness, mobility or musculo-skeletal restrictions).  We will enjoy being together in the outdoors, and we will not be comparing ourselves to twenty-somethings! Participating Parks and Rec. Depts. to register with include Augusta County, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Rockingham County, Shenandoah County, and Greene County.

Benefits to jumping aboard:

• spending time in our gorgeous and local outdoors;
• being with others who like movement and fun;
• adding to your learning about outdoor safety and activity skills;
• and possibly some new clothing! Participate in 3 or more of these Senior Adventures during 2026 and receive the WILD GUYde Adventures 2026 OLD MOUNTAIN GOAT* t-shirt, along with all the rights, privileges, and adulation pertaining thereto!
