Bocce
Looking for something that has a competitive side? Try out Bocce. It’s a fun outdoor game that is the perfect mix of strategy and skill! Enjoy convenient access to a bocce court right on campus at both of our Friendship Village communities. And when it’s cold, hot, snowy, or rainy, we take the game inside, year-round!
Crafting
Crafting is a great hobby because it engages creative thinking. There’s a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes from creating beautiful items to share with loved ones or display in your home.
