MCC offers a wide variety of continuing education classes for the winter and spring months, including art, language, music, crafts, personal development, and recreation.

 

The Retired Adult Program (RAP) is a membership-based, non-credit program dedicated to adults ages 50 and older who are active, curious and serious about continually learning. There are many stimulating art, music and classic film lectures offered during the winter and spring months, along with many other thought-provoking classes.

 

MCC’s Trips and Tours program offers several day trips along with an exciting trip to Washington D.C. in April. The day trips include a special gold exhibition at the Field Museum (Golden Chicago), another to view Chicago’s Orthodox churches and a trip to a Wisconsin winery, along with lunch and dancing.
