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 a week of Italian immersion as you celebrate Italy’s people, culture and land from the Renaissance to modern times. Delve into Italian history, art, music, and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. Take a field trip to Clinton, Ind., and explore the Coal Town Museum to learn about the immigrants who worked here in its mining heyday. Attend a wine tasting, sample Italian cuisine and cap your week by taking in the annual Little Italy Festival.


Highlights

• Explore the historic site paying homage to World War II newspaper correspondent Ernie Pyle — visiting his home and the museum that depicts the war fronts he wrote about.
• Participate or cheer for your fellow participants as two former champions of the Women’s State Bocce Championship teach the skills of this Italian sport.
• Italian opera is explored with a very enthusiastic music professor who evokes giggles and tears as you learn about opera’s comedy and drama, and Italian composers and the time in which they lived.

Activity Notes

Moderate walking and standing each day.

Coordinated by Saint Mary of the Woods College.
