Outer Banks Senior Games 2024: A Call for Volunteers
In a recent video release, Dare County invites adults ages 50 and above in Dare County and Currituck County to take part in the upcoming annual Outer Banks Senior Games slated to commence on Monday, April 15, 2024. The video brings to light the games’ core agenda, to foster well-rounded and vigorous lifestyles among the senior populations.
Background
Endorsed by the North Carolina Senior Games, the Outer Banks Senior Games marks its 36th annual event this year and avails a myriad of sporting activities to its participants. The games create a versatile platform for seniors to indulge in diverse sporting events including, but not limited to, swimming, bowling, billiards, cycling, disc golf, table tennis, croquet, pickleball, and cornhole.
More than Just Sports
The Outer Banks Senior Games is more than just an athletic event—it offers seniors the chance to showcase their caregiving talents too. Participants can display prowess in digital and traditional arts such as photography, literary arts, painting, woodworking, knitting, and quilting. The games serve as a forum for seniors to connect, share, and learn from each other’s skills and life experiences.
Volunteers Needed!
The successful staging of such a grand sports event depends significantly on the valuable input of volunteers. The 2024 Outer Banks Senior Games are no exception. Dare County, therefore, solicits locals willing to volunteer their time and resources to ensure the success of the games. Particularly, mappers for the swimming and cycling events are in high demand. Those interested in volunteering should reach out to Aubrey Remige at 252-475-5644 to sign up.
