While all of our learning adventures offer extraordinary value, our "Best Value" programs were rated by our participants themselves who thought their dollar went particularly far.
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.
A charming and scenic adventure walks you "slowly" — literally — through historic Parke County, the Covered Bridge Capital of the World. Experience many of the county’s 31 covered bridges as you study their construction, meet the engineers who work to restore them, the volunteers who maintain them, and enjoy the legends, folklore, and music these national treasures have inspired. Enjoy a field trip to the Covered Bridge Festival and sample “Hoosier” country cooking and culture.


Highlights

• Learn from an engineer trained in covered-bridge restoration the step-by-step story of how a community pulled together to rebuild a cherished bridge.
• Accompanied by a bridge expert, visit many of the county’s 32 bridges — and then explore, examine, ask questions, take pictures and walk under each fascinating bridge.
• Experience Day 1 of the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival, beginning in the Rockville town square and continuing to Bridgeton and one of the most beautiful bridge settings in the county.

Activity Notes

Moderate standing and walking each day.

Coordinated by Saint Mary of the Woods College.
