Love to learn in a small-group setting? This collection of programs has at most 10-24 participants.
See our Small Group programs.
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.
Experience life as the Roosevelts and other “rusticators” lived it during their summers on Campobello Island, across the bay from Eastport, Maine. Explore the places they loved, trace their footsteps, picnic at their favorite spot, meet offspring of people they knew, take a boat exploration, see picturesque lighthouses, and understand what brought the Roosevelts back year after year.


Highlights

• Learn about island life the way Franklin and Eleanor did — attending lectures and walking in the very places once occupied by Eleanor and Franklin.
• Enjoy an island exploration to visit the Roosevelts’ favorite spots, visit the historic Library and Museum that Eleanor helped support, and enjoy a lobster feast.
• Take a boat ride into Passamaquoddy Bay, see seals, porpoises and bald eagles — maybe even a whale.
Due to the nature of this program, listening devices are not available.

Activity Notes

Walking up to one-quarter mile on varied terrain; ramp to dock can be steep.
