We all share genetic code to
play outside

Compelled by this belief, Whitewater’s mission as a 501(c)(3)  nonprofit is to facilitate access to the outdoors by lowering barriers and inspiring people to get outside. Each year, Whitewater engages with over 1.4 million people across the 5 different locations it protects and manages encompassing over 2,500 acres in some of the Southeast’s most extraordinary playgrounds. The goal is to facilitate and promote engagement with the active lifestyle among as many people as possible, as often as possible.

Ways to Engage

Whitewater offers a wide spectrum of experiences that provide different access points to the outdoor lifestyle. These include international competitions, Olympic Trials and numerous festivals, along with more than 60 races and competitions throughout the year across a variety of sports and disciplines at our five locations. Whitewater’s  Adventure Lodges, located in some of the most outstanding outdoor communities, are ideal base camps to access a host of outdoor pursuits. The outdoor centers in Charlotte, NC, and Abingdon, VA, serve as the nexus of outdoor activities in those active communities. By creating varying engagement points, Whitewater is seeking to attract a larger audience to live an active life.
