Re Ca Travel and learning mix in Elderhostel program As the snow begins to melt away, we begin to think of summer vacations, and what might be different to do- this year. For our older citizens, there is an exciting op- portunity to combine travel and learning in a unique program called ELDERHOSTEL. ELDERHOSTEL com- bines the best traditions of education and hostel- ing. Inspired by the youth hostels and folk schools of Europe, but guided by the needs of older citizens for intellec- tual stimulation and physical adventure, ELDERHOSTEL is for senior citizens on the move -- not just in terms of travel but in the sense of reaching out to new experience. It is based on the belief that retirement does not have to mean withdrawal, that one's later years are an oppor- tunity to enjoy new experiences. ELDERHOSTEL is a network of over 700 col- leges/universities/in- dependent schools/folk schools and other educa- tional institutions in 50 states, Canada, Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Nor- way, France, Isreal, and Italy, which offers special low-cost, short- term residential academic programs for older adults. It is open to people over 60, or to those whose spouse or companion qualifies. Most programs begin Sunday evening and end Saturday morning and ae limited to 30 or 40 elders. The ELDERHOSTEL ex- perience provides an in- formal and human at- mosphere where the in- dividual is important, making new friends is easy, and learning can be a truly liberating experience. There is a tradition at ELDERHOSTEL of a uniform maximum tui- tion for all summer pro- gram weeks. In 1984 the maximum weekly tuition charge is $190. The week- ly charge is an all- inclusive fee and covers room and board, all classes, as well as a variety of extra- curricular activities. The weekly charge follows the listing of each state or province. A $30 deposit per person must accom- pany the registration form for each week re- quested; the balance is due at check-in on ar- rival on campus. Just as ELDER- HOSTEL courses reflect the diversity of the par- ticipating colleges and universities, so too do the campuses, where the courses are offered. ELDERHOSTEL works as well in small rural liberal arts institu- tions, as it does in large, urban, public univer- sities. Little known in- stitutions compete with nationally known institu- tions for the enrolment of Elderhostelers. Some campuses have charm- ing old buildings, while others have new and im- pressively functional physical plants. The choices are nearly infinite and the wise hosteler will select the combination of program, campus and location that is the most satisfying ELDERHOSTEL exper- ience. A wide range of liberal arts and science courses that explore various aspects of the human ex- 70 perience is offered. At each campus, classes are scheduled so that in- terested hostelers may take all of the course of- ferings. These non-credit courses are taught by regular faculty members of the host institution. There are no exams, no grades, no required Homework, although pro- fessors are pleased to make suggestions for outside reading and study. In general, the courses do not presup- pose previous knowledge of the subject. LACK OF FORMAL EDUCATION IS NOT A BARRIER. Nine years of experience with over 150,000 hostelers has shown that some of the most enthusiastic Elderhostelers were not able, for economic or family reasons, to com- plete their formal educa- tions. Professors delight in discovering that 60 or 70 years of life ex- perience creates open, understanding, teach- able people.
