tudy Tours: Challenging, Off-beat and Fun

your past annual vacations run together a single blur as you try to distinguish one m the other? Is your greatest tangible inder of summer vacation typically no re than an extra-long credit card statement? If you are tired of mindless vacations would welcome a unique holiday-- one t offers a learning experience you will ember for the rest of your life-- Canada’s versities and colleges are the place to start king. Every year, they offer an increasing ber of challenging, off-beat, and fun study s for the general public as well as for adult ents.

The range of subjects offered in 1995 is y eclectic: acupuncture, archaeological s, art history, gardening, history on loca- , language immersion, painting, pilgrim- , theatre tours, women’s studies, and much re.

Forthe physically adventurous, wilder- s canoe trips sponsored by Athabasca Uni- sity or University. of Regina are worth

chill rivers are your classroom on these s, which in addition to the joys of paddling include discussin of boreal forest ecology, logy, archaeology, and Native history.

If your idea of fun is watching seven espeare performances in six days, then Stratford Festival is where you want to be July. McMaster Universty’s program ezes in lectures, question sessions, and a ption to make sure you get your $836 h.

French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, ainian-- studying a language*while im-

mersed in its culture is absolutely the best way to learn another language. Most programs will earn you credits, and if Ukrainian or Chinese is on your agenda this year, the price is right too.

Six weeks of introductory Mandarin in northeast China, for example, including airfare, accommodation, meals, and tuition is only $3,600. And five weeks of Ukrainian instruc- tion, excursions, and room and board with a family in Lvov is a bargain at $2,900.

However, not all study tours come at bargain rates. Generally, study tours are not budget travel. They usually cater to a small group of people, provide excellent individual attention, are led by an expert in the subject matter, and take you away in comfort.

For details on these and ober 100 other learning vacations around the world, see Athabasca University’s eigth edition of Study Tours, available for $16.95 in local book stores or charge by phone 1-800-561-5789.
