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.
For over 100 years, the Mayo Clinic has been a world leader in state of the art medical treatment. Through their clinic, the Mayo brothers made medicine a cooperative science; the clinician, the specialist and the lab workers uniting for the good of the patient. Get a privileged, behind-the-scenes perspective on the Mayo Clinic, and learn about its development from "the Mayo's clinic" to a world-class facility that has treated over six million people.


Highlights

• Get rare access to speak with Mayo Clinic doctors and specialists about recent advances in medical research and preventative medicine.
• Enjoy field trips to the Mayowood House — the historic home of the Mayo family— as well as the hospital and the clinic’s Bio-Imaging Lab.
• Discuss how your own health can be improved with diet and weight management.

Activity Notes

Walking up to six city blocks over flat terrain. Elevators available.

Coordinated by Rochester Community and Technical College.
