Wellness & Recreation Adults & Seniors Coming of Age

Coming of Age in Maryland

Adults (60+)

CoA offers active adult programs and events. These include social, cultural, and recreational activities that foster well-being, friendship, and fun-filled experiences for our participants. Together with its members, CoA creates memorable moments and meaningful connections.
