An essential
ingredient in living well.
At Chautauqua, recreation is
not an afterthought, it is one of our four pillars. From its
earliest days to the present, Chautauqua has embraced the recreative
experience as an essential ingredient in living well.
Our recreation programs support
Chautauqua's commitment to families, nurture meaningful personal
relationships and a strong sense of community, and help individuals
reconnect with the natural world. They respond to the real emotional,
spiritual and physical needs of Chautauquans of all ages.
