Each summer, thousands of Lakesiders take part in lectures and additional educational programs at Lakeside. These social, contextual interactions are central to our intellectual wellbeing, and at Lakeside, we want to ensure that you have an opportunity to grow by participating in a variety of educational experiences.
Lakeside’s education program has grown exponentially over the last 10 years. The community has experienced expert speakers in a variety of subject matters within the Chautauqua Lecture Series and participated in hands-on learning experiences for all ages. Furthermore, community groups have expanded their offerings to provide an abundance of learning opportunities for Lakesiders.
“I believe that part of lifelong learning is a continuation of our own identity,” shares Michael Shirtz, Senior Vice President of Programming. “We learn new ideas from lectures, seminars or hands-on experiences that we can apply in our life, family and career. These experiences in the education program are satisfying our natural curiosity and intellectual wellness that enhances the dimensions of our spiritual, social, emotional and even physical wellness. So, it’s imperative that we continually focus on developing our methods and practices of educational programming.”
