Homebody2 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Does anyone have any experience with this program? I stumbled upon their website, and it sounds interesting.

rebbyribs Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 My mom has done several trips with them and has been looking through their catalog for more. She has mentioned that she prefers the trips with a higher activity level. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Frog Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My mom has done a couple of trips and took 2 of my kids with her when she went. They all had a blast! It was a trip geared for grandparents and grandkids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachaheart Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a friend who goes on trips a few times a year. She loves it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 My cousin teaches the natural history and outdoor recreation part of their regular adult trip and their grandparent/grandkid trip when they come to Cumberland Falls State Park in Kentucky. He's super great so I am sure the whole trip is too! The other teachers at that park focus on Appalachian history and music for the guests. My aunt has gone on a number of their trips and loved every one of them. All of them seem very focused on learning and enrichment. Road Scholar used to be called Elderhostel. You might remember it by that name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue daisy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 My in-laws took my oldest on a trip a couple of years ago and they had such a good time. The trip was designed for grandparents and grandchildren to go together. They got to experience some really cool things related to marine science. They are taking my 10 year old on a trip to the Rocky Mountains this summer, which includes hiking, some mild white water rafting, horseback riding and a hot air balloon ride! (I'm a little jealous! lol) I love that my kids will have this wonderful experience with their grandparents that they'll never forget.

I'm thinking my mom would love these experiences. She wants to travel, but my dad has no desire. I like that she could go with my kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
