Whether you’re looking for a group challenge or a break from WFH, Charlotte’s great outdoors has something for you — and then some. Check out Issa Vibe Adventures, the Black-founded organization that’s diversifying nature experiences. Established in 2017 by thrill-seeking friends Lisa Colvin, Charles Gbenyon, Jr., and Ali Steele, Issa Vibe Adventures offers yoga, hiking day trips, and kayaking activities.
Enjoy more of the Charlotte outdoors at the 1,300-acre U.S. National Whitewater Center for one of their thrilling activities including whitewater rapids, ropes courses, and the world’s first Deep Water Solo climb.
But if you’re looking for something more leisurely for a summer day, ride one of Charlotte Joy Rides’ E-Bikes through the city and frolic through one of the many parks and scenic trails nearby. If you want to be outside this summer, Charlotte is the place to be.
