We are growing! The post-pandemic interest in this lovely program is skyrocketing! We want to add another walk, and need more great volunteers to make this happen!
The Memory Loss Zoo Walk is a weekly social engagement and fitness opportunity for people living with memory loss and their care partner. The program begins with an approximately 45 minute walk throughout the zoo, followed by about 45 minutes of conversation over coffee and snacks at the Zoo Café.
The program runs for 10-12 consecutive weeks at Woodland Park Zoo, takes a break, then begins again.
The walks take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only.
The Walk provides a chance for gentle physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and social connection. The program is open to participants living with early- or middle-stage memory loss and their care partners, with the support of an appropriate number of Alzheimer's Association-trained volunteers.
