Elderhostel
Elderhostel is the nation’s first and the world’s largest education and travel organization for adults 55 and older. Inspired by the youth hostels and folk schools of Europe and guided by the needs of older adults seeking new experiences and personal enrichment, Elderhostel is based on the belief that retirement does not mean withdrawal from meaningful activity and that the later years should be viewed as an opportunity to enjoy new challenges.
Elderhostel is a not-for-profit organization with nearly 30 years of
experience offering low-cost, short-term residential programs for older
adults. CMU’s Elderhostel programs are among the most popular in the country.
CMU welcomes students 55 and older and their spouses or companions. Cost and
accommodations vary with location.
