Elderhostel grogram
BY JOANNE BUCHANAN
"It was the most fabulous experience of
our lives," says Margaret Mcflolm of R.R.
2•Goderich
Husband Norm: agrees. "We hated it to
be over and can hardly wait until next
year. It was one of the most enriching
experiences we have ever had."
The recipient of such high praise is a
program called Elderhostel.
Elderhostel combines the best traditions
of education and hosteling. Inspired by the
youth hostels and folk schools of Europe,
but guided by the needsof older citizens
for intellectual stimulation and physical
adventure, Elderhostel is for elder citizens
on the move–not just in terms of travel but
in the sense of reaching out to new ex-
periences.
Elderhostel is a network of over 400
colleges, universities, independent
schools, folk schools and other educational
institutions in -50 states, Canada, Great
Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and
Norway, which offers special low-cost,
short-term .residential academic
programs for :older adults. It is open to
people over 60.4 to those whose spouse or
companion qualifies. Most programs begin
Sunday evening and end Saturday mor-
ning and are limited to 30 or 40 elders.
The Elderhostel program is only three
years old, and the McHolms found out
about it last year by reading an article in
the London Free Press.
"It was a very short article but it con-
tained an address so we wrote away to get
more information and to get put on the
mailing list," explains Mr. McHolm.
That's when the McHohns discovered
that the program was booked up for a
year. However, after 'selecting the
university they wanted to attend from the
program's catalogue, they settled back to
wait. And well worth the wait it turned out
to be.
The McHolms chose Memorial
University's Sir Wilfred Genfell College in
Newfoundland, located in the beautiful
S1ul11ue1 Valley uii Idle wesi. etfasi and
headed there by train in June. For one
week, they had three lectures per day: one
in the morning from 9 to 10:15 a.m. on the
history of Western Newfoundland; a 15
minute break; then another for an hour
and a quarter on the Joy of Music; and
then, in the afternoon another on the
geography of Newfoundland which in-
cluded an outing to Gros Morrie National
Park.
"At the end of each lecture, we'd clap
because they were so fabulous," says Mrs.
Middleton news
McHolm. "And the professors cwere
thrilled to teach older people who were
there because they really wanted to
learn."
Mr. and Mrs. McHolm rhyme off facts
they learned about Newfoundland's
history and geography from notes they
took Note -taking is not required though
and there are no exams, grades or
required . homework. The non-credit
courses do not presuppose previous
knowledge of the subject. Lack of formal
education is not a barrier.
Although both Mr. and Mrs. McHolm
took university extension courses before
they retired, one doesn't have to have a
university degree 'to qualify for
Elderhostel.
"Whether you finished grade school or
earned a PhD, if you have an ad-
venturesome spirit, you're perfect for
Elderhostel," the program brochure
claims.
The McHolms then, took notes only for
their own interest and retention. They had
travelled to Newfoundland once before and
knew of its rugged beauty but it was only
after learning something of its history and
geography, that they really came to ap-
preciate
Besides the educational experience, the
McHolms discovered that Elderhostel was
an excellent way to meet a diversity of
people. They lived in a dormitory on
campus with cafeteria meals provided. On
the night they arrived, there was •a wine
and cheese party for everyone to become
acquainted. There was a geography outing
one day and on another day, a senior
citizens' group in a nearby town held a
party for them.
The cost for Elderhostel, which is a non-
profit organization, is $140 per person. This
weekly charge is an all-inclusive fee and
covers room and board, all classes, as well
as a variety of extracurricular activities.
Transportation costs are, of course, not
included. After taking the train to
Newfoundland and viewing the beautiful
scenery, the McHolms decided to fly
nulne.
And they have their sights set on Pacific
University in Anchorage, Alaska next.
However, for the less adventuresome,
there are Elderhostel universities closer to
home like Brock', in St. Catharines,
Humber College in Toronto, Western in ,
London and Wilfrid Laurier in Waterloo.

more information about the program and
