Elkin Explorers help provide significant funding to a wide range of Explore Elkin initiatives, including events like the Family Flotilla, Live at Five, Food Truck Fridays, and more! In addition, the Elkin Explorer program allows us to leverage significant individual support to increase corporate sponsorships for events and programs presented by Explore Elkin. With an investment of $100 or more per couple, Explorers are able to receive many benefits throughout the community. Throughout the year there are many exclusive Elkin Explorer events, including EVTA guided hikes, socials and an Appreciation Dinner Theater. All Elkin Explorers will also receive an Explorer Discount Card which will provide discounts at local businesses throughout the Elkin area.
