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.

The Revolutionary War in South Carolina
America’s fight for independence comes to life as a charismatic presenter in authentic military clothing leads you through tales of revolution from both sides of the line. Learn about weapons, battles, the “Swamp Fox” fashion and Colonial life.

Charleston Architecture
Charleston's colonial and antebellum homes are world-class treasures. An architectural historian shares his knowledge in the classroom and on an hour stroll viewing magnificent historic homes near The Battery on the Charleston peninsula.

Lowcountry Traditions and Culture
Explore firsthand the history, folklore, and crafts native to coastal South Carolina. Learn the poignant stories of the Gullah people (descendants of enslaved West Africans), whose culture and influence impact South Carolina even today. See a sweet-grass basket-making demonstration.
