A vacation doesn’t have to be a mindless affair of sun and tropical beverages. With “learning vacations” you can have a blast and expand your mind, too. The premier purveyor of learning vacations in New York’s Chatauqua Institution, founded in 1874. Visitors to their non-profit New York University have a wide range of housing options on the property’s lush 225 acres, from the old-school inns and rooming houses that have traditionally lodged guests to spanking new, luxury condos with all the amenities. The property offers diversions such as swimming, boating and golfing, but the reason people keep going back to Chautauqua is the more cerebral offerings. Lecture series cover everything from architecture, music and the arts to discussions of international politics, science and privacy issues. High-intensity summer programs are offered for students studying art, dance, music and theater, and evening entertainment programs bring opera classics, jazz greats and even silent movies with live organ accompaniment. The Chautauqua program offers some 400 classes, and lodging runs from $85 per week for dormitory housing to over $5,000 per week for a four-bedroom, lake-front private home – so there’s sure to be something that fits your interests and budget.
