OLLI in Mt. Washington Valley

The Mt. Washington Valley region welcomes new members and provides opportunities to learn, socialize and explore our beautiful Valley.  

Hiking and Snowshoeing Group

Spring, summer and fall we hike local trails from flat and easy to modestly uphill and longer. Come winter we transition to snowshoeing, again from flat and easy to modestly uphill and longer. For more details and signup contact Betsy Gemmecke at betsy.gemmecke@gmail.com or John Peterson at jpsvenster@aol.com. 

Game Group

Game group will start up again Friday, January 6, 2023 at 10:00 AM at North Conway Rec Center with primarily cribbage but also some dominoes and backgammon. Subsequent meetings will be Wednesdays 1:30 - 4:30 PM and Fridays 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM through the winter. For more details and signup contact Benny Jesseman at bjesseman1@roadrunner.com.

Candlepin Bowling

Try a new sport or return to one you haven’t done for years or decades. These will be informal, easy-going gatherings at Saco Valley Lanes in Fryeburg. First outing will be Wednesday, September 21 at 1:00 PM and continue on selected Wednesdays. For more details and signup contact Barb Butler at barbara.butler@yahoo.com. 

Pool and Ping Pong Group

This is not serious billiards and table tennis but rather some fun activity with little likelihood of sweating too much or pulling a muscle. We will play at the North Conway Rec Center on Thursdays from 1:00-3:00 PM beginning November 3. For more details and signup contact John Peterson at jpsvenster@aol.com. 

Downhill Skiing Group

Why ski alone when you can join your peers in a nearby MWV ski lodge and make a day of it. We will begin the first week of January and continue weekly with outings to Cannon, Bretton Woods, Attitash/Wildcat, Black and maybe Cranmore or Shawnee Peak. Weather, snow conditions and lift pricing will determine date and location. For additional details and signup contact John Peterson at jpsvenster@aol.com.
