• Do you enjoy working with the elderly?

• Are you a planner? Do you like to organize and lead activities?

• Are you looking for a health care related degree that you can earn at a distance from anywhere in Wyoming?

   If so, becoming an Activity Professional might be what you're looking for.  Activities professionals provide elderly and disabled clients opportunities to pursue social, mental, creative, spiritual and recreational activities. Whether planning a holiday party, playing bingo or leading a stretching class, activities professionals work to provide a better quality of life for their clients.

   Activities professionals work in long-term care nursing homes, swing bed or subacute units, retirement homes, assisted living centers, boarding homes, adult daycare centers and senior centers.

At Casper College, you can pursue this career in one of three ways:

1. by completing the state approved courses, or
2. working towards an Activities Professional certificate, or
3. working towards an Associate of Applied Science degree.
