What is a "Learning Vacation"?
No, it's not summer school! A learning vacation is an opportunity to learn something new (something fun!), broaden your horizons, and do something really different!
They are unusual vacations, out-of-the-ordinary experiences - experiences that last a lifetime.
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!An educational vacation doesn't have to be difficult, and it's certainly not boring. There are educational travel tours that cover a number of interests - want to join an archaeological dig?Or study art in Europe? You can do it!
Have you always wanted to learn to speak Spanish? Why not do it in Spain? 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 Barcelona or Madrid 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 with educational travel.- 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 more about ancient cultures! 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.
Educational travel is not boring - and any vacation can be an opportunity to learn something new!
