Nantahala Outdoor Center Announces Summer Camps in Metro Atlanta
The Leaders in Outdoor Adventure to offer outdoor adventure camps with kayaking, mountain biking and other adventure activities for kids and teens
ATLANTA (April 27, 2023) — Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), the Leaders in Outdoor Adventure Since 1972, are excited to offer summer camps for kids and teens at its north Atlanta outposts June through July of this year. Campers ages 10 to 15 will have the chance to explore the Chattahoochee River and surrounding Chattahoochee National Recreational Area through adventure activities like kayaking and mountain biking. Those who sign up for the new Southeastern River Explorer Camp will also get to experience rivers beyond the Metro Atlanta area, including a whitewater rafting trip on the Ocoee River.
NOC’s summer camps were created to get kids outside where they can have fun learning new skills and making friends. With children and teenagers spending an increasing amount of time indoors, NOC’s summer camps provide opportunities for physical activity and socialization in the outdoors. Outdoor group activities help children develop independence, experience new challenges, unplug from technology and create lifelong memories.
“We are thrilled to kick off our 2023 Atlanta summer camps and give kids in the area the chance to explore the outdoors in a new way,” said Kristin Kastelic, Marketing Director for NOC. “All of the camps have recently been relaunched to offer even more outdoor adventure experiences, and we’re excited to see campers interact with all the beautiful outdoor resources that surround us from the Chattahoochee and beyond.”
