Walks & Trails

Group walks are being scheduled by the Walks and Trails committee. Normally these do not meet at the PAC Center, so watch for meeting times and places in the newsletter. Some walks and hikes may depend on individuals traveling to various sites on their own or in carpools, and then walking or hiking together. (Carpooling is considered an indoor activity. The driver in a carpool may impose stricter rules for all carpool participants than have been published by the State Health Department.) Contact [email protected] if you have an idea for a walk or a hike in the area.

Take your own walk using Swarthmore Senior Citizens Association's maps! We have mapped out over 20 walks and trails in Swarthmore. You can use the All Trails app on your phone; download and print the maps from the Borough's website; or visit the Library and check out one or more laminated maps.

LunchBunch

The Lunch Bunch

Once a month gathering from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. The PAC Center is aiming to do more intergenerational programming between our Kids & Caregivers and Swarthmore Senior Citizen Association (SSCA). This is a casual meet-up over BYO lunch....with toys, a few table activities and a story read by a member of SSCA. Let's connect over a carrot stick or two. No fee or sign-up, just show up and bring your lunchbox.
(Caregivers stay with the children; this is not a drop-off situation. Just a great chance to connect to another part of our community!) Questions? Contact Lisa Oster at [email protected]
