What is Road Scholar?
Road Scholar is a not-for-profit organization that
offers educational travel adventures designed for Baby
Boomers, a new generation of lifelong learners.
Road Scholar casts you in the role of active participant,
with experiential, rather than classroom learning and nontourist-oriented
experiences that are difficult or impossible to
arrange on your own. Each of our programs has been thoughtfully
created for people like you, who view travel
as a means for discovery and a journey toward
lifelong learning. Road Scholar is a division of Elderhostel
— the world leader in educational travel for adults.
How is a Road Scholar program different from a
tour?
Road Scholar programs are about the discovery of place through
experiential learning, not just sightseeing. With Road Scholar,
you benefi t from the local knowledge of our resident experts
and through hands-on activities. We don’t just include
the basics, then sell optional tours. Road Scholar programs
include a comprehensive itinerary for an in-depth experience. |
