Greencroft Communities Stories
Zip, Zip, Hooray!
By Abbe Buller
Greencroft Goshen resident Evelyn Miller celebrated her 80th birthday with a thrilling zipline adventure at Camp Timberlake in Huntington, Indiana, made possible through the Greencroft Communities Foundation Resident Dreams Program. Turning 80 inspired her to finally take the leap — quite literally – and apply to the Dreams Program in the hopes of making a long-held goal come true.
After some ground training, Evelyn and her two Greencroft staff companions completed a 90-minute aerial course, navigating platforms, bridges, and multiple zip lines high in the treetops. Despite a few sore muscles, she called the experience “wonderful” and was thrilled to share the story with her friends back at Greencroft. Her two children even came to cheer her on while she navigated the course!
Evelyn is living proof that age is no limit to adventure — and she reminds us, “People think old people just sit around and play Bingo and watch TV. We do a lot more than that!”
