What do they say? "50 is the new 40!" We would like to introduce you to our programs ideally suited
for the more mature participant. You should realize that all of our programs accept people of all ages. However,
traveling during the months when college students are in class at their universities will ensure an older average student.
With this in mind, we suggest not participating during the summer or January, if possible.
