DAY TRIPS AND SOCIAL EVENTS
Adventures in Lifelong Learning
Day Trips add another dimension to learning. Members enjoy interesting trips such as visits to museum, art galleries, and historical sites, seeing plays and live symphony performances, and ethnic dining. Multi-day trips even take members beyond our state's borders. Learn more about current trip offerings below.
New Guidelines for Day Trips for 2023
The Adventures In Lifelong Learning Day Trip Committee compiled these guidelines from the results of our survey February 2022. They are subject to change as COVID conditions change.
- Wearing masks on a coach bus will be individual choice. Note: The UW System, which includes UW-Parkside, has made the decision to lift its mandated mask rule to individual choice by March 18, 2022.
- In Wisconsin, we will be dining indoors during cold months, but seeking outdoor options for other seasons.
- If wearing masks, proof of vaccine, or recent COVID testing is required by venues, you will comply. We will put that information on our flyers.

Learn the sacred history of this cone-shaped mountain in WI that dates back to the mid-1800's but was inspired by an old French diary and map dated 1676. The hill was dedicated to Jesus' mother Mary and placed in the care of a group from the Discalced Carmelite religious order that came from Bavaria. The women have been custodians ever since.
