Community News & Highlights
Welcome back, we are so glad you are here! Below you’ll find a quick roundup of Grouper’s community news, including updates on newly launched communities, upcoming features, and other highlights across Grouper’s online platforms.
- As of Monday, November 25, 2025, the total membership count across all Grouper communities was over 12,000 members. This includes:
- 900+ members in our Walking community
- 400+ members in our Arts & Crafts community
- 350+ members in our Pickleball community
- In the last month, Grouper welcomed four new communities to its ever-growing activity offerings (we now offer 15!):
- Music
- Aquatics
- Cycling
- Snow Sports
- Each month, we issue you a community-specific challenge. In November, we introduced some lively and engaging challenges, including:
- Arts & Crafts: We asked you to create something for a person who is special to you – a gift of gratitude.
- Walking: We asked you to take a picture of the sunrise or sunset, in recognition of finding beauty in the days getting shorter.
- Gardening: We asked you to acquire a new indoor plant, in advance of the colder weather.
- It’s wonderful to see our communities embrace the Member Challenges – thanks to you, they are incredibly popular! Stay tuned for new challenges coming in December!
- As you’ll note below, we’ve kicked off our virtual and in-person events, which are designed to keep you active, connected, and healthy.
- We value our partnership with Walk with a Doc – thank you so much to everyone who has participated in these informative and engaging walks thus far! Click here to find a Walk with a Doc walk near you!
