Road Scholar Programs |

Road Scholar is the
name for programs developed and offered by Elderhostel, Inc.,
the not-for-profit world leader in lifelong learning and
educational travel since 1975. The mission of Road Scholar is
to empower adults to explore the world’s places, peoples,
cultures and ideas, and in so doing to discover more about
themselves. A fellowship of learning and the joy of discovery
are the hallmarks of the Road Scholar experience.

Road Scholar
programs bring together instructors and participants from
diverse backgrounds to foster dynamic interaction, engaging
discourse and warm camaraderie. In a world that seems to shrink
smaller by the day because of technology, we believe that true
insight and understanding are still sparked by hands-on
experience and open discussions that stimulate the senses,
energize the body and challenge the mind.
At Michindoh,
we take this mission seriously. Combining the ideals of Road
Scholar with the individualized service and uniquely Christian
hospitality offered at Michindoh Conference Center, we strive to
offer you the very best in programming, service, and
recreation.

The American
Revolution, U.S. Constitution, and Early U.S. Presidents
Dig into American history to answer
probing questions about our political system and the democratic
tradition. Lectures and discussions with local historians
provide a scholarly perspective on the issues that motivated the
call for revolution and the challenges of framing a
constitution. Survey the role of the president in the country’s
infancy and balance classroom time with field trips, evening
entertainment and performances by local artists.
Highlights
• Explore the influences that led to the American Revolution.,
consider the evolving interpretation of the Constitution, and
examine the early presidents’ effect on the nation’s
development.
• Enjoy a visit to the Michindoh Nature Center to get up close
and personal with reptiles and amphibians in a fascinating
presentation led by a local expert.
• Explore the Will Carleton Poor House, a historical stone
building with a unique architectural design and one-time home of
one of Hillsdale's most influential authors, Will Carleton. |
