Young at Heart Field Trips 2024

Please join BV Rec and Young at Heart for one or all of the fun, social field trips taking place in 2024! Young at Heart is a social group for those aged 55+. These field trips are a great opportunity to get out with friends and be social.

Each field trip, we will visit a location within the Arkansas River Valley and then eat lunch together as a group. BV Rec will provide transportation for the field trip. We will always meet at the BV Community Center (715 E Main St) and then return to the BV Community Center after. The locations and lunch spots are determined by the Young at Heart board.

More information/details regarding the other two field trips in 2024 will be provided soon!
