While all of our learning adventures offer extraordinary value, our "Best Value" programs were rated by our participants themselves who thought their dollar went particularly far.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese 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.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Karen expressed what I'm sure we would all agree with. I hope that Road Scholar offers this program again.

This was the most meaningful and memorable program I've been in. Our leader, Dave, was dedicated and knowledgeable, and helped us understand the situation under which the Dominicans and Haitians live. We worked on projects with the people, visited villages, met families, and saw, up close, both the beauty and eagerness of the people as well as the bleakness of their living conditions. I highly recommend this program.
