Come for the cardio. Stay for the cards. The choral and instrumental ensembles. The classes... 

Great classes, teachers, and classmates await you! While many who become members at FiftyNorth initially do so in order to pursue fitness activities, they soon discover the other great programs here. Drawing on the expertise of  members and current and retired educators from area schools and colleges, we offer courses in everything from art appreciation, environmental issues, Spanish, and watercolor to refresher courses on first aid and driving. [For a chronological list of upcoming art classes, click here. For all other classes, click here.] 

Another great way to develop new interests and broaden old ones is to join one of our interest groups. Want to learn/relearn how to play bridge or cribbage? Have we got a deal for you! Join a musical ensemble, the book club, the cast of a theater production, or a group for photographers, gardeners, or rockhounds. [For an alphabetical list with details about our groups, click here.]

If there’s a course you’d like to take or teach or a group you’d like to join or organize, contact Patty Ciernia (Lifelong Learning), 507.664.3709 / patty.ciernia@fiftynorth.org.
