Adult Enrichment

Experiences for everyone to enjoy. Spark your passion for discovery, learning, and connection.

It's hard to find dedicated time for experiences that bring us joy, wellness, and connect us with others. That's where we can help! Whether you are ready to dive in or take a small step, Hopkins Community Education has an abundance of experiences for you to explore.

Trying something new can help you feel a sense of accomplishment and the excitement of discovery. Curious? Sign up for a class or two — explore fitness, art, hobbies, wellness, financial health, cooking, music, dance, technology, photography, and more.

We offer both online and in-person experiences and follow all MDH health and safety guidelines for our programs.
