Raleigh is launching customizable private outdoor adventure programs starting this May, designed for birthdays, scout badge activities, or corporate team-building. These experiences aim to promote exploration, confidence, and connection for participants of all ages.
Led by experienced instructors, the programs are flexible to suit different group sizes and interests, offering activities from interactive reptile lessons to wilderness survival challenges. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more, making it easier to plan a larger outing.
One program highlight, dubbed a shell-a-bration, offers participants a hands-on encounter with Jimmy the box turtle, including a take-home craft for $5 per attendee. For those interested in survival skills, a $15 per person session provides instruction in fire-building, shelter construction, and other seasonal wilderness techniques. Anglers and paddling enthusiasts can join fishing and paddling tours priced at $10 and $30, respectively, which include instruction in casting, knot-tying, and basic paddling, according to the City of Raleigh.
Participants are advised to book at least eight weeks in advance. Registration details and contact information for Raleigh’s Program Coordinator are available on the Raleigh Parks and Recreation website. The programs provide opportunities for group outdoor activities and skill-building experiences.
