Road Scholar Trips

The new year is in full swing, and the excitement of playing with all of the wonderful toys and electronic gadgets gifted to millions of children and grandchildren across the country has begun to wane. While cell phones, video game consoles, laptops and other electronic devices continue to be top sellers and ever popular holiday gifts, Road Scholar offers grandparents the opportunity to give their grandchildren a gift that never breaks and doesn’t need batteries—the gift of an educational learning adventure with memories they will both treasure for a lifetime.

For the summer of 2019, Road Scholar is unveiling dozens of new experiences for grandparents and grandchildren.

Generations can bond while exploring the rainforest of Honduras, or on a quest to learn about the legend of King Arthur in Wales, or going behind-the-scenes on Broadway. One of the more thrilling types of experiences Road Scholar is offering grandparents and grandchildren for the summer of 2019 is authentic camping adventures in National Parks. Led by naturalists and expert local staff, Road Scholar participants and their grandchildren (ages 8-18) will learn about our nation’s greatest natural treasures as they camp in tents and embark on outings throughout the parks. The initial offerings include programs in Zion, Bryce, Yellowstone and Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota.

In addition to the new camping programs, Road Scholar also offers a wide variety of other program types to choose from, including rafting in Arizona, an outdoor adventure in Costa Rica, to snorkeling the Coral Reef in Key Largo. In addition, there are programs that will nurture your grandchild’s love of animals, and even a Harry Potter program in Florida. There is something for everybody!

A Road Scholar grandparent program handles all of the details, so that grandparents and grandchildren can focus on learning. To learn more, please visit https://www.roadscholar.org/grandparents.
