Seniors Groups
As the Director of Outdoor Educational Services I have a special affinity to senior members of our community, mainly because I am one to. Although we run programmes for everyone, the many activities that are often thought as being the strict domain of young people, can I know, from experience, be equally valuable, recreationally, educationally and therapeutically for senior members of our community.
So often, people, even relatively young in their early 50's, see themselves as too old to undertake the types of activities that we offer. Both the media and society in general must take responsibility for this generally held misconception.
Although nearing my 58th year, mentally I feel no older than in my late 20's and physically my fitness level is better than some 30 year olds. This is no accident but simply a very positive state of mind & a determination to keep reasonably fit. Fitness even in later years, if necessary with guidance from your medical practitioner, can be increased with exercise and good diet, ones state of mind, however often needs some help to start thinking positively again.
I challenge senior members of our community to try something very new or even just reacquaint ones self with a previous outdoor passion.
Although an activity such as abseiling, climbing or kayaking can become increasingly scary with age and long entrenched fears and inhibitions, our sensitive and careful approach to introducing individuals to stimulating activities will give new found confidence and long term benefits, both physically and mentally.
