Summer Review & Back to School – Part Two

Summer adventures can continue into the fall as the time for back-to-school approaches. Granger Bartee, incoming freshman at UNC Chapel Hill, shares his local adventures this summer (like rodeos and mud runs!) and looks forward to new adventures this fall.

Segment Highlights:

• The Ohana Mud Run is a family-friendly event with a focus on fun & teamwork.


• Moving from high school to college, Granger is looking forward to discovering new adventures in Chapel Hill. Freshman year introduces an opportunity to branch out, learn and grow, and continue to explore the Carolinas.


• Granger navigates the UNC campus on an e-bike, but walked around campus throughout the summer. Going on walks is a simple and accessible way to spend time in the outdoors and explore new places.


• It’s often said on the Carolina Outdoors: “Each person’s adventure is their own adventure”. Whether you’re a student, parent, or not, the back-to-school season can be an opportunity to experience a new adventure while continuing to explore the outdoors.
