Celebrate 50 years with Nantahala Outdoor Center
On a hot summer day, the water of the Nantahala River is as refreshing as anything you can imagine. There are squeals of delight from people of all ages as they set out on adventures through the forest waterway. It is a bit of magic in the making.
This year, the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, North Carolina is celebrating 50 years of facilitating those family memories. During that time, through its outposts and trips, the center has welcomed nearly 8 million guests. The anniversary will be marked by a wide variety of events all year, including international trips that will be characterized by high adventure and grand locations. For family adventure, those options include Costa Rica, British Columbia, Iceland and more, all for ages 6 and older. Teens and adults have more options, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Closer to home, stayed tuned for Spring Fling at NOC, April 23 – 24 (admission is free), and a 50th anniversary celebration coming this summer.
