| Not only is
each Elderhostel site unique, with very different physical characteristics,
but the courses themselves vary from classroom lectures to rigorous
outdoor activities. When a site offers a strenuous program, we make
every effort to note the physical requirements in the course description. Preparatory materials sent to enrolled
participants will contain additional details about health considerations
and physical demands. |
International Programs are more physically demanding than most in
the United States or Canada, so it is vital to be realistic about
your health and physical abilities. Many programs involve extensive
walking in variable weather over sometimes hilly, uneven terrain.
