55+ Residential Weeks

The Chautauqua Institution's 55+ programs were founded in 1974 by Helen Overs and remain an important component of the Chautauqua experience. Each program presents a topic through lecture, discussion, films or other appropriate means.

55+ Residential Week is our ever-popular, very high demand program for older adults. This very special week includes accommodations at Chautauqua Institution's Bellinger Hall Dormitories, with shared twin rooms and baths, breakfast and dinner daily and one-week gate pass. (Chautauqua's gate pass is the ticket to all lectures on the grounds and entertainment in the Amphitheater for entire stay). The program followed is that offered through the lecture series and all entertainment offered throughout the week.

For additional information on the above programs please call Chautauqua Institution's Office of Group Sales and Senior Programming at 716.357.6262/357.6269 or e-mail Laurie Stanton.
