SUMMER POP-UP
Sunday, June 15 from 1-4pm
Black Farmers Market (1637 E Lawson St, Durham)
Gearing up for your next big adventure? 🥾 We've got you covered. Join us for our Summer Pop-Up at the Durham Black Farmer's Market! 🌱 Our community has been very generous with donations this year, so we have lots of secondhand gear available: tents, sleeping bags, outdoor clothing, climbing gear, and more! ⛺️🎒 As always, our gear is sold at pay-what-you-can pricing to ensure everyone has access to the outdoors. Hope to see you there!
Check out our Events page to see what we've done in the past!
We've got some exciting news to share! Introducing... drum roll please... 🥁🥁🥁... our new Gear Parts Shed! Located at the Chapel Hill Community Center, this is a space for members of the community to donate gear “parts” and take what they need to repair or refurbish their own gear at no cost. Between tent flies, tent poles, repair kits, and more, this space makes gear maintenance easy! Check out our Gear Parts Shed webpage to learn more!
