Travel Program and Senior Classes

The Senior Classes & Day Trips Program at Lee College is designed for curious, active adults who believe learning and exploration don't stop with age — they grow richer with it.

Since 1989, our program has connected thousands of participants from Baytown and surrounding communities to meaningful educational experiences, engaging classes, and thoughtfully planned travel opportunities. From local day trips to international destinations, our offerings combine comfort, enrichment, and connection.

Our travel programs emphasize "soft adventure" — experiences that balance exploration with accessibility — while our senior classes encourage lifelong learning, creativity, and social engagement. Whether you're joining us for a single class, a day trip, or a multi-day journey, you'll find a welcoming community that values curiosity, discovery, and shared experiences.

Our mission is to inspire adults to learn, discover, and travel.

Through enriching classes and educational travel experiences, we engage expert instructors, provide extraordinary access to destinations and ideas, and encourage meaningful conversation and friendships. We believe learning is not just a phase of life — it is a lifelong journey that connects people, cultures, and perspectives.

Who can participate in Senior Classes & Day Trips?

Our programs are designed for adults ages 55 and older, though participants of all adult ages are welcome unless otherwise specified.

Do I have to be a Lee College student to participate?

No. You do not need to be enrolled as a Lee College student to join senior classes, day trips, or travel programs.

How long are the travel programs?

Travel programs typically range from 7 to 15 days, depending on the destination. We also offer day trips and shorter experiences throughout the year.

How physically demanding are the trips?

Our trips follow a soft-adventure approach, designed to be enriching without being overly strenuous. Each trip listing includes details to help you determine if it’s the right fit for you.

How do I register for a trip or class?

Each trip or class listing includes a registration link, brochure, and contact information. Most travel bookings are handled directly through our trusted travel partners.

Are trips guided?

Yes. Travel programs are led by professional guides and expert instructors, and many include exclusive experiences, educational components, and group support.

Can I travel alone?

Absolutely. Many participants join on their own and enjoy meeting new people through shared experiences. Single-room options and roommate matching may be available depending on the trip.
