Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Bedford Recreation Department cannot offer indoor classes this fall, but thanks to Zoom there is a pretty full slate of activities in the department’s Fall Brochure. The new brochure is available online and will be updated as changes occur
For Adults
Adult programs include online professional and personal interest courses; food and cooking classes along with arts and crafts. There are online health and well-being classes, and virtual exercise & fitness sessions. There will be in-person outdoor fitness & walking groups, sports instruction, and pick-up sports.
In addition to Bedford Youth Soccer scrimmages and games, there will be a virtual dance program, and plenty of virtual activities for Bedford’s young people.
