Young at Heart Field Trips 2026

Please join BV Rec and Young at Heart for one or all of the fun, social field trips taking place in 2026! 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.

For each field trip, we will visit a location within the surrounding area 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.

Wednesday, September 16th

The third Young at Heart Field Trip of 2026 will take us to the Fossil Beds National Monument in Florissant! The trip is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16th. BV Rec will provide transportation to and from Florissant. Please meet at the Buena Vista Community Center (715 E Main St) at 8am. We will return to the Community Center around 3:00pm. We will spend time walking around the Homestead and then will eat lunch at McGinty’s Wood Oven Pub in Divide. The cost of $10 covers your transportation to and from Florissant. Lunch is NOT covered and everyone will need to pay for their own meal. Please give $10 (cash or check) to any Young at Heart board member or BV Rec staff member to reserve your spot! Space is limited to 14 participants, so please reserve your spot soon! All participants will need to complete a BV Rec waiver prior to getting on the bus.
