Staying healthy means staying active for many seniors, and this summer new programs will make that easier than ever.

"We have something for everyone, so please come see what we are doing," said Jackie Camp, Senior Social Center program coordinator.

The Senior Social Center in Craig is offering two new classes adaptive yoga and the Geri-Fit Program.

"Geri-Fit is a special program for people 50 and above or anyone who has issues with balance and strength. It includes strengthening, balance and stretching exercises," Camp said.

The times and locations of Geri-Fit are changing. Monday classes will start at 9:30 a.m. at the Culverwell Building, 1280 Industrial Ave. The Thursday Geri-fit is changing locations and will be held at St. Michael Catholic Church, 678 School Street.

The center continues to provide circuit training and have added 15- and 20-pound weights to the fitness equipment available at the center located in the Colorado Northwestern Community College Bell Tower Building, 50 College Drive.

The Washer Toss will begin at 6:30 p.m. June 1 at Alice Pleasant Park in downtown Craig, and attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs.

"Washer Toss is kind of like Corn Hole. It's played in teams. There are two boards with holes in them spaced about five or six feet apart and you try to throw the washers in the hole to earn 21 points," Camp said
