The AOC Experience... through YOU
Thank you to all of the Asheville Outdoor Center Staff for another GREAT day on the French Broad! This was our 3rd season on the river- and the best yet!! We look forward to our trip next season!!!
~North Buncombe High School Swim Team, May 2009

Thank you for the wonderful afternoon on the river. Our students said this was absolutely the greatest day they have ever spent with our program. We sincerely appreciate your working with us to make it possible for this group. You and your staff are simply awesome! We all enjoyed the afternoon so much. Everyone was already talking about great memories of time on the river. You are the best!! Thanks so much for everything!
~NC Reach Worshop Coordinators, April 2009

Thank you for your support in this year's NC Big Sweep River Cleanup event on October 11, 2008. We had 250 volunteers working to clean ten miles in and along the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers. Your donation of a launch site, logistics help, and 15 canoes were vital to the success of the event. Thank you for all you do for the river, and for helping with this waterway improvement event.
~Quality Forward Clean Community Coordinator, October 2008

Thank you so much for letting us use the canoes, lifejackets, and vans! The safety movie was extremely helpful and I used all the information in it to help me on the trip. My favorite part was probably when it started to rain. I felt like I was surviving something great! While I was on myt trip we saw a snapping turtle. I had the best time ever!!
~Mandalin (5th grader), July 2008 

Thank you for letting us canoe. It was an amazing adventure! We paddled little ripples. I saw the Biltmore Estate and the Inn. *Thanks for the popsicles!
~Dallas (5th grader), July 2008
