If you had a surprise day off work tomorrow, what would you WANT do? Would you want to kayak on Mt. Island Lake? Hike up Mt. Mitchell? SUP and chill? Marvel at the sensory explosion that is a Full Moon hike? Latta Outdoor Adventures is the group where people just like you come to find out what Outdoor Adventures are being offered RIGHT NOW at Latta Nature Preserve! We will keep you posted on all the programs for age 12 to Adult. Some are FREE meet-ups. Some cost a few bucks. Don’t have your own gear? No problem. That’s why we are here. Book a tour with us and let the Outdoor Recreation Specialists at Latta do the heavy lifting, literally. If you want to meet-up for ANY of our programs call Latta Nature Center to sign up (980)314-7878 or sign up on-line at parkandrec.com (calling is easier plus you get to talk to Courtney or David). Have an idea for an adventure that isn’t on our meet-ups? Tell us what you want to do and let’s do it! You can even book a private program tailored in (almost) any way imaginable. So what are you waiting for? Don’t waste that day off!
