What

Enjoy a trip to Door County, Wisconsin, a picturesque peninsula that juts into Lake Michigan, often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.”  Known for its charming small towns, scenic shorelines, and over 300 miles of coastline, it offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions. We will be exploring quaint villages like Fish Creek and Ephraim, and enjoy outdoor activities like a narrated scenic boat tour, exploring Peninsula State Park, a choice of kayaking or e-bike at Cave Point, savoring local flavors like cherry orchards, cheese and fish boils and end an outdoor comedy theater performance at Northern  Sky Theater.  We will have a chance to attend a Sunday Service at the first Christian Science edifice in the world at Oconto, WI. Door County combines rustic charm with vibrant community life, making it a wonderful destination for adults.
