The Active Adult Program is thrilled to introduce a few of our upcoming day trips! Visit our website to learn more about our day and multi-day travel opportunities.
Day Hike
Join us as we team up with the Raleigh Parks Outdoor Recreation Program for a day of hiking. We begin with a scenic adventure as we explore Medoc Mountain State Park in Halifax County, NC. This unique park sits on a 325-foot remnant of an ancient mountain range that once towered over the land 350 million years ago. While it’s not your typical mountain getaway, the park offers plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors.
After our lunch break, we’ll continue to the De Hart Botanical Gardens near Louisburg, NC, once part of the historic Myrtle Timberlake Plantation. The land traces its colonial roots back to a grant from Charles II of England. This hike is along a stream and a peaceful lake.
Date: Friday, May 30
Time: 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $21 for Residents/$36 for Non-residents

Take an unforgettable trip to Durham, North Carolina, as we step into the world of baseball through the lens of Finding America in a Minor League Ballpark: A Season Hosting for the Durham Bulls by Harris Cooper. This compelling book dives into the rich history of minor league baseball, the iconic Durham Bulls, and the vibrant city they call home.
As part of this trip, you'll enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the legendary Durham Bulls Stadium. Walk the halls, stand in the locker room, and experience the spaces once occupied by MLB stars.
