The 2026 Senior Summit will be held May 19–21, 2026, at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley, West Virginia.

The Senior Summit is a lively, camp-style retreat filled with hands-on workshop, engaging activities, and plenty of opportunities to relax, laugh, and connect in a beautiful outdoor setting. It brings together active older adults who value learning, connection, and enjoyment -- creating a vibrant atmosphere where participants build friendships, explore new ideas, and simply have a great time together.

This year, participants can energize body and mind through movement classes including Qigong, Yoga, and general Fitness sessions suited to all ability levels.

The conference also features a Choir class for those who love to sing, a hands-on Crafts class to spark creativity, and a Wildlife class exploring the natural world around us. Attendees can also attend an informative session on Scam Awareness, learning how to recognize and avoid common fraud schemes.

With a welcoming atmosphere and opportunities to connect with others, this conference is a favorite for seniors looking to learn, share, and enjoy new experiences.

We look forward to seeing you in May!
