ZUMBA® GOLD takes the popular Latin-dance inspired
workout of Zumba and makes it the perfect class for all
populations — seniors, beginners, unconditioned, or others
needing modifications in their exercise routine. Absolutely
NO dance experience required!!! A ZUMBA® GOLD fitness
class includes slower-paced, lower impact choreography that
is easy-to-follow with modified moves along with more verbal
cueing. This class provides cardiovascular strengthening, works
the muscles of the body, and improves range of motion—
while getting the social benefit of “dancing” with friends and
meeting new people in a non-judgmental environment.
Wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing, supportive
footwear with low tread (not a running sneaker) and
bring a water bottle and small towel.

NYS Licensed Guide
Owner of “Dynamic Sport Adventures”
The art of “staying found” requires little more than a good map
and compass, and the know how to use them properly. Today’s
topographic maps are the best available, and magnetic compass
models are well-designed for the modern navigator. Learning to
use a compass and map together are fundamental skills each
outdoorsman and woman should have. This contributes to your
safety afield, and also to your success. This class offers an
introduction to learning these skills, with classroom and in the
field hands on learning. All classroom materials are provided.
*Our optional hike will be on Buck Mountain overlooking Lake
George. On a clear day you can see the High Peaks in the
Adirondack Mountains and also look below to see the many
islands sparkling like jewels in Lake George. You may even see
the diehard boaters enjoying the final boating days of the
season. Barbara McMartin’s book, 50 Hikes in the Adirondacks,
describes Buck Mountain as “a perfect introduction to the
Adirondacks.” Buck Mountain is a moderate hike of 3 miles (one
way) with a few challenging spots. We will car pool for the hike
and you will need to bring your own lunch and water. Plans and
preparation for the hike will be discussed in the class. Hike is
tentatively planned for Saturday, Oct. 18 (weather
