Historical Note
“Elderhostel is a nonprofit organization committed to being the
preeminent provider of high quality, affordable, educational
opportunities for older adults.” Whitworth College joined the
program in 1989 as an extension of its outreach to adults and as a
way to promote the college. Most participants resided in the campus
dormitories for a week, involving attendance at three lectures per
day devoted to a wide variety of topics of interest to adults. There
were two to three sessions per summer. No grades were issued and
homework was not required. Evening programs with voluntary
attendance were also offered plus ample time for exercise and
recreation. The program was discontinued in the year 2000 because
most adults preferred the privacy of rooms equipped with private
baths. It moved out to Camp Spalding on Davis Lake, 40 miles north
of Spokane, Washington, under the sponsorship of the Presbytery of
the Inland Northwest.
