Elderhostel offers travel and learning programs from hiking and biking to adventures afloat or trekking on trains. To be eligible for Elderhostel programs, participants must be 55 years or older or attend with someone who is age-eligible. Kathy Huntsinger, director of the North Central area Elderhostel program, reports that many mothers and daughters attend programs together and, through Elderhostel's intergenerational program, even granddaughters and grandmothers can attend together. Most Elderhostels are five days long and offer three courses related to one theme. For instance, in October at the University of Minnesota, Elderhostelers will examine World War II from a political, historical and cultural perspective.
Participants are responsible for transportation to and from the site.
