Extremely likely <br />Likely <br />Somewhat likely <br />Not at all likely <br />Q4: How likely are you to attend a program <br />centered around learning? <br />0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% <br />While opportunities for learning can include many different areas, most parks and recreation agencies focus <br />learning/education-based programs on adults and seniors. When programs are catered to seniors or older <br />adults, fees are often nominal to eliminate barriers to participation. One-fourth of survey respondents said <br />they are "extremely likely" to attend a program centered on learning, which shows this could be a reasonable <br />path to follow for future programs. <br />Senior or 55+ programs are a popular category to add for education and general programs, since that is a <br />growing segment of the population that wants to stay active and involved in their community. Potential areas <br />of education programs could include defensive driving, personal finance, a history series, nutrition, health and <br />wellness, among others. Some senior centers offer programs for older adults and their care givers on topics <br />such as offering care or a support group for those with memory loss. <br />Another avenue is outdoor or nature education. Offering a Lunch with a Naturalist series could be popular, as <br />some cities or nature centers offer it on a monthly or even weekly basis. Wargo Nature Center offers this <br />program and has a different topic for each session. The following is from their website: <br />Bring your lunch and join a naturalist for our Lunch with a Naturalist series. These monthly <br />presentations will include local natural history information and possibly a relaxing stroll on the trails at <br />Wargo. Any equipment that may be needed will be provided. Pre -registration is not required. <br />
