“I have been coming to Camden for about two years now, and it’s just such a good place to come to. Good people. It’s important to have something to do, to get out of the house. I really like to come here just to be around the people. They keep me young.”

“I have been coming here for 2 years, and I come every day. I love it! Drum Fit is my favorite activity at the center. The music really gets you going. I make sure to be there twice a week. I have lots of friends here. I love the staff, they’re so good, especially Bruce. His personality is great, and he treats everyone the same. The entire staff is so welcoming.“

“I’ve been coming here as long as I can remember. My favorite activity is going for walks. The staff is good, every one of them. I come to get out of the house, and to meet people, and everyone is so friendly. It’s important at our age to stay active and have something to do. This is a very good place to be. I would encourage anyone to come visit the center and join in.”
