Most people think of learning vacations as studying Spanish in Mexico or volunteering on an archaeological dig in a 3rd world country.

Well actually, one of the richest archaeological sites in the world is right here at the La Brea Tar Pits, and they do accept volunteers, but there are a lot more skills you can learn from a trip to LA.

Performing Arts Workshops

If you have ever dreamed about being an actor, singer, dancer or comedian, think about taking one of the many Performing Arts Workshops offered in LA. There are introductory or drop-in classes that last a few hours, weekend seminars or intensive workshops that last a whole week.

Adventure Skills Training

From learning to surf, to learning to fly a helicopter, plane or trapeze, you can stretch your physical limits and daring with a variety of lessons from beginner to advanced.

Culinary Arts Classes

With the popularity of food channels and cooking shows, recreational cooking is all the rage, and top chefs around Los Angeles are ready to teach you the fine art of haute cuisine, the variety of vegan fare, or simple healthy meals for the family. These schools all offer cooking classes for the general public.
