Residents and members of the community-at-large look forward to the many special events that occur at Breckenridge Village. These include the following annual events.

• Our St. Patrick's Day Breakfast where it's a top o' the mornin' as volunteers from the police and fire departments join staff in preparing and serving delicious pancakes and sausage to the residents
• Our Volunteer luncheon honoring those who have accumulated substantial volunteer hours and enjoying great food, entertainment and delightful company.
• The Christmas Bazaar is a greatly anticipated event throughout the area. People line up outside waiting for the doors to open. Crafts, baked goods, a silent auction and many other treasures await those who attend.

Resident-driven activities take place all over campus and intra-campus bus service is available. The Residents Activities Advisory Group is central to the village's planning process.

Our wellness program offers fitness classes throughout the campus. An exercise room with hydrafitness machines, a massage program and a Tai Chi class, are just some of the features of this program.

Volunteering at Breckenridge Village affords many residents opportunities for meaningful responsibility and ways to meet new people. Our 425 volunteers netted more than 41,000 hours of service in positions from receptionist to recycler to "baby-rocker" last year.

Many social events are planned by the staff and by residents. Included are coffee hours, trips, games, video movies, and entertainment programs.

Discussion groups, creative writing, crafts workshops, BVTV13, the Beautification Committee, and Care Card production, are just some of the many programs available to residents to discover and create beauty and significance.

Residents at Breckenridge Village take advantage of numerous community-based activities and programs including: YMCA senior programs; Lakeland Community College programs and classes; Willoughby's Browning Senior Center programs; and Lake Metroparks programs.

The Christian Gospel is central to the spiritual opportunities available on the campus. Bible studies are held on a regular basis. On-campus worship brings clergy from several denominations to the Lyons Chapel for communion with residents. Our full-time Chaplain and residents plan worship for the campus weekly. We are proud to have both a choir and an active Stephen Ministry program. Transportation to a variety of local churches is available on Sundays.
