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.

Gilbert & Sullivan and "H.M.S. Pinafore"
Sail the ocean blue and explore the first Gilbert & Sullivan hit! Explore its libretto and score, enjoy readings of Gilbert's "Bab" ballads, write a parody of one of its memorable songs, all with lots of persiflage and innocent merriment. Ahoy!

The Roosevelts: Teddy, Franklin and Eleanor
Learn about this fascinating American family whose work and legacies still touch us today. Assess the impact the Roosevelts made throughout history. This program includes expert-led visits to FDR's Springwood home and museum and Eleanor's Val-Kill in Hyde Park, NY.

Bogart's Black Bird at Seventy
Dashiell Hammett's "Maltese Falcon" is a great detective novel filmed three times by Hollywood. We will explore the novel and view excerpts from the first two film versions, shifting to John Huston's 1941 masterpiece giving us our first film noir.



Activity Notes
