Exceptional, Exciting, Inspiring
Thanks for considering NOC for your upcoming group program! This guide
will help you plan an engaging outdoor itinerary that’s oriented to your
group’s purpose and goals. Here, you’ll find the offerings at our Nantahala
River campus – our best venue for group retreats and programs. NOC
focuses on creating unique itineraries focused on teamwork, trust and
most importantly, fun!
If you have any questions, feel free to call us. The number on each page
directly calls one of NOC’s veteran group program planners. When consid-
ering your retreat options, remember that outdoor adventures provide
healthy, engaging and active recreation. They typically demand teamwork
and cooperation, and – most critically for retreats – these activities make
partial participation impossible. Your group’s limits will be tested and
challenged with fun activities outside their daily routine. No one will be
“standing on the sidelines” during NOC’s outdoor adventure activities.
