We Work to Introduce Young North Carolinians to the Great Outdoors

Since 2015, we have worked to provide kids of all ages and backgrounds access to the outdoors and opportunities to learn new skills. Donations to the North Carolina Outdoor Heritage Advisory Council go straight back into funding outdoor experiences and the construction of outdoor learning facilities. 

We are providing life-changing outdoor experiences to North Carolina's youth. GO Grants can provide access to adventure and unique learning opportunities.

We are funding outdoor classrooms and agricultural learning facilities across the state. Want to give your students the benefit of outdoor education?

A new program to provide adventurous teens the opportunity to learn and pursue outdoor activities, develop leaderships skills, and cultivate comradery.

There are TWENTY Outdoor Activity Patches to collect involving all sorts of activities like camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting!

Top patch earners that make the Patch Leaderboard can win a prize and if you're 16 or under, the patch is FREE with completion of the activity!

Outdoor Activity Patches are a great way to show off the new skills you've learned. Find out more about our new My First Fish patch.
