These welcoming afternoons are designed to bring older adults (60+) together in a warm and friendly setting. Enjoy light refreshments, engaging conversation, and curated programming in the heart of your community. These drop-in gatherings are a great way to stay connected and unwind with neighbors!
All programs remain completely free of charge thanks to the generous support of donors, volunteers, and community partners. The Cooperage Project’s initiatives are also sustained by grants from the William E Chatlos Foundation and AllOne Charities.
2026 Schedule:
A Regional Collaboration:
Senior Gatherings at The Cooperage are being developed in collaboration with Tusten Social, a similar nonprofit based in Narrowsburg, NY.
Recognizing the need for more consistent senior engagement across the Upper Delaware region, as well as seizing an opportunity to uplift one another’s community endeavors, we are coordinating their senior offerings—ensuring that older adults in the region now have a weekly opportunity for connection, enrichment, and fun. Tusten Social’s popular “Sage Sessions,” held on the first and third Thursdays of the month (1:30-3:30pm at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance), are now complemented by The Cooperage’s Senior Gatherings on the second and fourth Thursdays, 1:30-3:30pm at The Cooperage. Both programs are free and require no RSVP.
Sage Sessions and Senior Gatherings offer a wide range of activities—from storytelling and movement classes to live music, and wellness workshops. This thoughtful scheduling means that seniors can count on something every Thursday, without duplication, and while stewarding our nonprofit resources!
Stay Connected on Thursdays!
