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.
Explore the maritime heritage of three very different and distinct Maine coastal communities with one common thread — making their living from sea. From the wealthy sea captains of the 19th century to the boat builders and lobstermen of today, their economic stability rises and falls like the tides. Gain insight into the lives of 19th-century seamen at the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, visit Maine's Lighthouse Museum and the Island Institute in Rockland and talk with boat builders and fishermen. And, of course, eat lobster!


Highlights

• Visit with sea captains, lobstermen, boat builders and lighthouse keepers and learn about making a living from the sea.
• Admire the 19th-century architecture of Belfast as you walk along its historic streets with a local historian.
• Enjoy the captain’s sea stories while sailing Camden Harbor and Penobscot Bay aboard an historic schooner.

Activity Notes

Walking one mile daily, some uneven terrain; stairs; getting on/off a boat with a narrow gangway.
