Bay View’s Education program provides an incredible range of learning opportunities for members and guests of all ages. Enthusiastic and professional teachers from all over the country offer a terrific array of classes in seven curricular areas: visual arts, health and fitness,  culinary arts, gardening, bridge, discussion groups, and kids’ classes.

Our lifelong learning approach is scheduled in a way that is sensitive to your busy lifestyle. Some of our courses meet only once for a couple of hours, while others may meet for just three or four sessions. Often classes meet just once a week on a day that is right for you.

Whether it’s learning to cook a meal from the executive chef of a local restaurant or previewing the upcoming Big Ten football season with a resident NFL veteran and UofM National Champion, all our students have opportunities to enrich their minds, bodies and spirits while enjoying the glories of Northern Michigan.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Education Director Toby Jones, 231-439-9243 or Education Committee Chair Barbara Liddicoat.
