Newcomers Club of New Bern

Day Trips

Activity Co-leaders - Joe Stuppiello, Pat Chylko

The Day Trip Activity Group plans and schedules excursions within New Bern and surrounding areas that are social, recreational and educational. We help our members enjoy new friends and experiences while exploring our beautiful new community. These trips are accomplished in a single day at a minimum of expense.  
Since we too are newcomers to the New Bern area, we are constantly searching for destinations for future trips. We readily accept suggestions for destinations for future trips and volunteers to assist in planning and scheduling trips. Please contact Joe Stuppiello (252-288-4320) or Pat Chylko (252-675-0223).
