Adventure at the arboretum

Registration is open for two upcoming sessions of Outdoor Adventure Kids, or OAK, at the N.C. Arboretum in Asheville. 

OAK is open to kids ages 6-13 and runs Fridays 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., with the first session March 3-31 and the second session April 14 through May 12. OAK participants in past sessions have made natural dyes with collected plants, looked for treasures while geocaching, explored pond and streams, built natural shelters to withstand the elements and practiced fire building.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
