The Blue Ridge Discovery Center arranges private outings for friends and families, with creek snorkeling and edible-wild-plant foraging specifically among the staff-led options. Its Southwest Virginia campus also offers weddings, allowing an unusual nature-focused wedding-week gathering by separate arrangement.
