Life in Sun City is expansive! There are seemingly endless fun-filled and rewarding opportunities. Here we can slow down and walk to the beat of our drummer!

From strolling the winding paved pathways to the fully equipped athletic centers the pace is entirely up to you. We can pray at your choice of worship centers or just hang out with like-minded groups. For the more adventuresome we can look into wood crafts, aquatic-themed events or even learn to play a better round of golf. The landscape is lush and meticulously well cared for.

Let's pick a date and I'll meet you there!
