Door County baseball fans will have an opportunity to cheer on the Milwaukee Brewers in person this summer as the Sturgeon Bay Program Center hosts a day trip to American Family Field on Thursday, Aug. 20.
The excursion, organized through the YMCA’s ForeverWell program for adults age 55 and older, includes round-trip motor coach transportation, game admission, snacks and a bagged dinner for the ride home. Participants will depart from the Sturgeon Bay Program Center at 8:30 a.m. and are expected to return around 7 p.m.
The trip also includes a special opportunity for attendees to walk around the field following the game.
Abby Baker, specialty wellness director for the Sturgeon Bay Program Center, said the event is designed to provide more than just a day at the ballpark.
"Our ForeverWell trips are about creating opportunities for people to stay active, connect with others and experience something new together," Baker said. "A Brewers game is a fun way to bring people together while enjoying one of Wisconsin’s favorite teams."
Baker said organized outings like the Brewers trip continue to be popular among older adults looking for social and recreational opportunities throughout the year.
"We know many community members enjoy the convenience of traveling as a group and not having to worry about driving or parking," she said.
The cost of the trip is $97 for YMCA members and $117 for community participants. Lunch will be on participants’ own at the stadium.
Registration is available online or at the Sturgeon Bay Program Center welcome center.
