Program Overview: 

The Group Programs are an opportunity for participants to unwind and connect with friends through a variety of experiences.

Certain outings and classes are scheduled and times are listed on monthly calendars; members should plan on arriving 5-10 minutes before a scheduled outing or class to guarantee they will be able to participate in the scheduled activity. Members can drop in any time during the Community Recreation Drop-In times, and are welcome to stay for the whole day (if you do stay for the whole day, be sure to bring your lunch and any needed snacks - MHC does not provide lunch or snacks). Members collectively choose from a variety of activities during the Community Recreation Drop-In times, which are also listed on the monthly calendars.
