Celebrating more than 30 years together SRC offers a variety of recreational activities for mind and body to Frederick County (MD) residents who are 50 years and older. Come join us for some fun and healthy activities!

On October 8th the SRC held its annual meeting. We had a great speaker who talked about the new addition to
Monocacy Village Park, Asbury SeniorScapes (https://www.cityoffrederickmd.gov/1861/Senior-Park).
We also held elections for the SRC Board of Directors. It was an informative and fun gathering.

These hikes are for more advanced hikers. They are 5-7 miles in length on uneven ground and hills. To join us on moderate hikes you must first participate in an easy hike. Like the easy hikes we hike from April-June and September-October (weather permitting). Easy hikes and moderate hikes are on alternate Tuesdays.
