What is a "Learning Vacation"?
No, it's not summer school! It's an opportunity to learn something new (something fun!), broaden your horizons, and have an unusual vacation - do something really different this time!
Push yourself beyond your self-imposed limitations - learn to surf! Paint a landscape! Join an archaeological dig! Try something you've always been just a little bit scared of... Amaze yourself!
Have you always wanted to learn to speak French? Why not do it in France? You can immerse yourself in the culture while learning the language, and learn faster than simply taking a course at your local community college. And you can visit Paris or Provence while you do it! Attend an art workshop and unleash your inner Georgia O'Keefe. Or attend a writer's workshop and get going on that Great American Novel. A learning vacation could also be called a special interest vacation. What are your special interests? A hobby you'd like to practice? A culture you'd like to visit? An activity you'd like to learn? There are hundreds of ways you can enrich your vacation experience. Here are a few examples: - You can learn to paint or to write in an artist's workshop. - You can immerse yourself in another culture while you learn the language. - You can learn to surf in California, Costa Rica, or Hawaii.
- You can indulge your favorite hobby in a scrapbooking, sewing, or beading retreat - or take a tour to buy Japanese textiles! - You can join an Archaeological Dig and learn about our ancient ancestors! Most of the workshops and retreats listed here are for a full week or more. Some combine activities - language and cooking, for example. Some are for women only, but most are open to all.
Any vacation can be an opportunity to learn something new, of course. Check out Culinary Adventures for cooking classes and tours, or River Cruises for history and culture of Europe, China, or Egypt.
