Easy
For people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
Moderate
These programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
Active
For people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately Challenging
For hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
Challenging
Get ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Day One: Sunday, July 14
- Registration, orientation
Afternoon:
Registration begins at 4:00PM at Great Camp Sagamore.
Dinner:
Dinner is at 6P in the dining hall overlooking Sagamore Lake. A bell calls you to your meals at Sagamore. You and your grandchild will go through the buffet line together and sit together for this (and all) meal/s.
Evening:
Welcome meeting and orientation to facility includes introductions and itinerary discussion. Please note that itinerary plans are subject to change if we feel we can improve this program for you. Generally speaking the morning is for outdoor activity, the afternoon for crafts and music, and the evening for special events. Educationally, we try to link outdoor activities with age-specific crafts. Depending on the number of participants in your session, you may find yourself joining the 'moose,' 'bear,' or 'deer' group for activities. This way, everyone gets a chance to cycle through the activities in small (roughly 10 adults and 10 children maximum) groups. Grandparents and grandchildren participate in the activities together. Weather, availability of materials, input from you, costs, and many unpredictable things can cause itinerary changes. We are sure you understand. Sagamore and Road Scholar have been intergenerational partners for over a decade and we are proud of our success together. Our aim is to help you and your grandchild/ren build memories, develop appreciation for nature, and strengthen the bond between generations. We hope you will enjoy your experience.
