Educational Tours and Travel
Lying around at the beach is a great way to spend a vacation, but if you want more from your vacation why not think about taking an educational tour? Educational tours and travel allow you to travel and learn, from languages to history and culture, to sports, or cooking and crafts and more. About.com has a fantastic educational vacation resource site full of information and links to some of the best learning vacations around.
Maybe you’d like to work on an archaeological dig assisting in research on the Pueblo Indians near the Mesa Verde National Park? The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center offers one-day sessions featuring hands-on activities and tours of their archaeology laboratory and excavation site for as little as $50.
Or maybe you would find learning art surrounded by beautiful Italian landscape more to your tastes? The International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Montecastello di Vibio, Perugia, Italy offers short-term instructional sessions designed “for adults with some background in art who want to create more time in their lives to paint and draw, or to pursue their interest to a deeper level.” Continuing education courses of three or four weeks are available in the summer.
These educational travel and tour ideas are just a sample of the ideas offered on the About.com Educational Tours and Travel site.
