A Look Inside the Friendship Village Lifestyle
International vacations, dance classes, summer barbecues, and local St. Louis outings are just a few of the available activities that make up resident lifestyles at Friendship Village. Thanks to the creativity of our Community Life Services Team, our residents have abundant opportunities on the calendar to live actively, socially, and adventurously. With a variety of regularly occurring options, our residents can choose the events and activities that appeal to them.
Here is a look at the types of events and activities that make our community so vibrant.
Lifelong Learning Opportunities
At Friendship Village, there is always an opportunity to learn something new or dive deeper into a lifelong interest. Our calendar is filled with stimulating programs including woodworking workshops, painting classes, and resident-led book clubs.
Low-Impact Workout and Fitness Opportunities for Seniors
There is no shortage of ways to stay active on either of Friendship Village’s campuses! Our residents enjoy access to a variety of amenities and opportunities to move including:
- Enjoying friendly competition on the pickleball courts
- Practicing their short game on the putting green
- Joining a group fitness class like balance, tai chi, or dance
- Getting steps in on our beautifully maintained walking paths
- Working out in our fully-equipped fitness center
- And more!
Whether it’s getting in a quick workout on your own or joining in on a group fitness activity, there are many opportunities for our residents to find exercise options they love.
Frequent Social Events & Parties Hosted by Friendship Village
Many of our most popular events are those that bring people together in a relaxed social setting. Throughout the year, residents gather for outdoor barbecues, festive holiday parties, casual happy hours, and lively card game tournaments.
Exploring St. Louis Gems with Residents
Life at Friendship Village extends beyond our campus. We love taking advantage of everything the St. Louis area has to offer. With our transportation services, residents can easily enjoy outings to favorite spots like the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri Botanical Garden, or a Cardinals baseball game. We handle the logistics (and parking!) so our residents can focus on the experience.
Travels Across the Globe with our Community
Just as we handle the planning for local outings, our team also organizes incredible trips around the country and the world. Residents have the opportunity to travel with their friends and neighbors without the stress of planning. We’ve recently taken groups to explore Holland, New England, and the Canadian Rockies. See where we’ve been and where we’re going next here!
Resident-Led Activity Ideas
We always love when we get resident input on what events and activities to plan! As a way of celebrating Friendship Village’s 50th birthday this year, we are granting our residents’ birthday wishes. Follow along with our residents’ adventures including skydiving, racing, and more here. Celebrate 50 Years of Faith and Friendship with us!
