The Laurel Community Center became an ecoEXPLORE HotSpot in 2024. ecoEXPLORE is a program through the North Carolina Arboretum and is a statewide network of family-friendly nature sites. Children 5 - 13 years old can sign up for this free program that helps families find safe and accessible places to explore nature. We hope you will help sign your child up and visit the Laurel Community Center to explore the nature our campus offers!
