What we’re about
Join us at the Life Enrichment Center for an array of classes, including painting (oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels), drawing, creative writing, air-dry clay, tai chi, mah jong, bridge, and much more!
The Life Enrichment Center is located in the quaint north Tampa neighborhood of Forest Hills at 9704 North Boulevard, Tampa 33612. Our contact information is (813) 932-0241 or info@lectampa.org.
Our attendees are active adults of all ages (primarily 50+). Our professional instructors work with participants at all skill levels, so everyone is welcome and included. Classes are small and one-on-one attention is provided.
This is a fun place, with friendly people who have similar interests. There is no other place like us in Tampa!
As our society continues to age and lives longer, organizations like ours are becoming even more important. Research indicates that baby boomers are going to be looking for activities that challenge and stimulate them and enable them to explore creative options for which they have not previously had time. This is exactly what the Life Enrichment Center has been about since its inception in 1980 – offering innovative classes and activities that provide adults with the opportunity to continue to learn and grow.
We would love to have you join our group of adults and active seniors!
