Road Scholar Adventures for Grandparents and Grandkids

In this pair of delightful videos, Road Scholar showcases two open intergenerational programs to Costa Rica. These small-group adventures are designed to bring grandparents and grandkids together through interactions with the culture, wildlife, fellow group members, and each other. Above, the "Tropical Paradise: An Outdoor Adventure for Grandparents & Grandkids" program includes canopy ziplining and a beachside search for nesting sea turtles. Below, the "Raft, Hike, and Learn to Say 'Vámonos!'" program includes time with a Spanish tutor in between the 10 field trips! Check out the image gallery here.
