Rockland Place Offers Complimentary Classes for Seniors

WILMINGTON, Del. – Rockland Place, a Watermark Retirement Community located in Wilmington, offers residents and area seniors nearly 50 class and program options this fall and winter through Watermark University. With topics ranging from tai chi and low impact fitness to classes focused on music, art, current events and even natural disasters, the Fall 2018 semester offers participants boundless opportunities for mind, body and spiritual enhancement, plus friendship, fun and meaningful connections.

These classes are made available to Rockland Place residents and Wilmington-area seniors because of the Rockland Place residents, associates, loved ones and guest experts who share their time and talents. The results from this true community endeavor are as impressive as the long and varied list of course offerings that emerge each semester.

A recurring class that is a favorite among Rockland Place residents is Current Events led by local attorney John Williams. Williams volunteers his time to lead the conversation, and often offer a legal perspective, to hot topics in the news. Join in the conversation any time. The class meets every other Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

The WU Fall 2018 semester runs now through December at Rockland Place. Some courses repeat on a weekly basis while others are offered once or as a short series or excursion. Most classes are complimentary and all require an RSVP in advance.

Some classes that you may want to get on your calendar and RSVP for now in preparation for the holiday season are Holiday Cocktails, which meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at 3:15 p.m., Holiday Songs, which meets once on Dec. 23 at 3:15 p.m. and Christmas Cookie Time on Dec. 9 at 3:15 p.m. While these are some of the more social classes, you’ll also learn some history behind what you sip, nibble and sing.
