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.
Come to the beautiful Appalachian Highlands to sing songs of the sand and sea! Join us for a musical journey from Plainsong through Disney as we travel to the beach! We’ll cover a broad variety of styles and challenges, including a couple of Vaughan Williams folk tunes, Sumsion’s “They that go down to the sea in ships,” the “Navy Hymn,” “Mister Sandman,” an arrangement of “What shall we do with the drunken sailor,” and possibly even a tune from Disney’s “Little Mermaid”! Spend a great week with folks who absolutely LOVE to sing, and enjoy a choral mixture of classic, folk and contemporary styles!
