How do I register for this program?
Registration for all Elderhostel programs is handled through Elderhostel, Inc., not the program provider. To register, go to http://www.elderhostel.org or call toll free (877) 426-8056.
Are all Bach Festival events occurring during my program included as part of my fee?
No. Your fee covers tickets for four (4) selected performances. However, activities are scheduled to allow you to attend any and all major Festival events that you wish. Tickets for additional events can be purchased in advance and at a special discount for Elderhostelers.
Will I need a car?
Transportation to Eugene, Oregon is up to you, and for those arriving by bus, train or plane, shuttle and taxi information will be provided. But once you are checked in at your residence, transportation is arranged to all scheduled classes, activities and Bach Festival events that occur during the dates of your program. The only exception is transportation between the residences and the dining hall, which are within walking distance of each other.
If I wish to arrive and/or depart beyond the program dates, where can I stay?
Both the on-campus dormitory and the off-campus commercial lodging currently offer extended stays at the same rates as those included in your program fees. Arrangements for extended stays are made through your program coordinator.
Are there provisions for Elderhostelers with disabilities?
Some. Program descriptions (online or in your catalogue) will describe these provisions in detail.
How about special dietary needs?
The dining facility selected for your program offers a wide range of foods including daily vegetarian and vegan offerings. Regarding food allergies, it is up to the participant to communicate with the dining hall staff as to particular ingredients used.
