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.
Explore the evolution of some of the most significant Hollywood movies, directors, singers and performers, complete with backstage stories, video clips, and live music. Delight in performances by Peabody artists and exceptional students, and take advantage of free access to the world-class Walters Art Museum across the street from campus.


Highlights

• Examine the growth and development of American film making from silent classics to 3D as you study films directed by Wyler, Hitchcock, Huston, Vidor, and more.
• Compare and contrast the voices and unique stylings of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, and others who enriched the movies.
• Investigate the life and performances of Gene Kelly — a versatile song-and-dance man — through a biographical overview of his art, highlighted by film clips.
