Welcome to the Second-Half Hero™ Challenge Trips!
This is where you're challenged to put an adventure on your calendar, and get your game ON and keep it ON in terms of wellness and strength for your second half.
If life feels like a race, these challenges and the resources we've brought together exist for bringing about even better outcomes for participants. It's an opportunity to be a part of a community that's curious about what's ahead and finishing well no matter what the first half looked like.
SPECIAL NOTE: This challenge is especially for those who think they have it all figured out. An open mind and a willingness to go beyond your understanding, with a guide, is the objective here. Our process will either affirm your second half is optimized already, or you'll get additional clarity that you may not discover otherwise.
Challenge Trips are to bucket-list destinations intentionally selected to disrupt everyday thinking and make these dream destinations a reality before it's too late. Changes in personal health, strength and finances are some of the top reasons why opportunities like these fade as we get older.
Go solo, with family or with a group. Trips range from $1,000 - $12,000 depending on what you or your group want to do. Ideal group size is 5-12. Dates are subject to change per group's preferences and availability of guides.
Trips are organized by Road Scholar, Collette Travel and other travel guide services, each with experience leading and booking travelers for the selected destinations.
