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.

Irving Berlin: King of Tin Pan Alley
Explore the life and works of the man who created more lasting hits than any other popular composer. His creative output never ceased being revived. Discover why Jerome Kern said “Irving Berlin has no place in American music, he IS American music.

Oklahoma and The Sound of Music
As different as the setting of these two works may be, they have a common thread: Hammerstein’s humanistic philosophy and Rodger’s musical style. Learn how and why these two blockbusters were so successful.


Due to the nature of this program, listening devices are not available.
