There's no end to the adventure on an Elderhostel program. And the fun is just the beginning. Elderhostel, a nonprofit organization based in Boston, MA, is committed to lifelong learning. From astronomy to zoology, Elderhostel offers more than 10,000 programs around the world to people over the age of 55.
Every program is an exciting combination of learning, adventure and travel.
The learning experiences happen on university campuses around the globe and at community colleges in your own backyard. You may also find your classroom is in a boat on the Mississippi or Nile Rivers or on a train crossing the Canadian Rockies. For 25 years Elderhostel has helped shatter the image of older Americans playing shuffleboard or knitting. From its early heritage until today, Pathfinder Village has believed in shifting the lives of people with Down Syndrome from fenced-in institutions into the general community, allowing them full and complete participation in society. It quietly leads the way in the field of residential care, with a comprehensive agenda of research and education, residential services, health management, spiritual guidance and recreational programs.
