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.
Cherokees have lived in the mountains of North Carolina for thousands of years, developing an alphabet, written language and culture that blended with the natural environment. Experience their unique heritage during field trips to the Cherokee Indian Reservation and formal class instruction led by native Cherokees. Visit the Cherokee Museum and the ancient site of the Cherokee people known as Kituwa Village, established more than 3,000 years ago.


Highlights

• Take in demonstrations by Cherokee craftspeople and learn about the traditions of basket making, pottery, wood carving and more.
• Delve into the tragic history of the “Trail of Tears” during a live theatrical performance.
• Enjoy an optional evening of drama, suspense, beauty and wisdom as Cherokee storytellers weave their ancient stories against the summer's night sky at the Cherokee Bonfire.

Activity Notes

Walking up to one-half mile per day.
