Weekly Roundup May 11-17

Last Thursday GGC attended the Spring Triangle Outdoor Leaders Gathering at The Boulder Garden in Durham!

The Triangle Outdoor Leaders Gathering is hosted quarterly by Triangle Outdoor Scene, bringing together leaders from across the Triangle to share ideas, talk through events, and connect around all things outdoors. It’s a great space to learn from one another and build relationships within the community.

The Boulder Garden itself was such a unique experience right in the heart of downtown Durham, it feels more like a community hub than just a bouldering gym. They host a wide range of events and classes, making it a welcoming space for all kinds of people. If you find yourself in Durham, it’s definitely worth checking out!

Celebrate Bike Month with a GGC bike navigation adventure!

Join us on May 16 from 10am–1pm for a hands-on scavenger hunt across NC State Centennial Campus and Dorothea Dix Park, starting at the Greenway Gear Collective container by Lake Raleigh.
