Thurmont Senior Center

Spring is in full swing at the Thurmont Senior Center, and May is packed with activities, events, and opportunities to connect, stay active, and have fun!
We continue to offer a wide variety of weekly favorites, including Zumba Gold, Strength & Balance classes, Chair Yoga, cards and games, and creative gatherings like Craftin’ in the Catoctins and Stitch & Chat. Our popular 50/50 Bingo returns twice this month, always bringing excitement and friendly competition.
Be sure to mark your calendar for some special highlights! On May 7, join us for our Fundraiser Night and Bake Sale at Roy Rogers—a great way to support the center while enjoying a delicious meal. Mid-month, we’ll celebrate our Monthly Birthday Party on May 15, complete with treats and good company.
One event we’re especially excited about is our Scrabble Tournament on Wednesday, May 27, at 12:30 p.m. Whether you’re a seasoned wordsmith or just enjoy a friendly game, this promises to be a fun and engaging afternoon. Come test your vocabulary skills and enjoy some lighthearted competition!
We’re also offering a variety of informative and enriching presentations this month, including a Bible 101 overview, a Register of Wills Presentation, and visits from the Frederick County Department of Aging.
Did you know that the Thurmont Senior Center facility is available for rent? Our welcoming space is perfect for meetings, gatherings, and special events. Contact us for more information about availability and rates.
In addition, we are always looking for caring volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound seniors within a six-mile radius of the center. This simple act of kindness takes just about an hour of your week, yet makes a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
The Thurmont Senior Center is open Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with lunch served daily at noon. If you’re 55 or better, we invite you to stop by, get involved, and see all that we have to offer.
For more information, please call 301-271-7911 or visit us on Facebook. We look forward to seeing you soon!
