AVS camping is an integral part of the AVS community experience and has been since the school’s founding in 2010. Our camping trips afford our city children the opportunity
to run wild, be independent, and explore and appreciate nature, while our families enjoy building community across grade levels. Our camping trips are organized by parent volunteers who make up our Camping Committee. Together we plan, organize, and facilitate at least two camping trips per year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Our Fall trip is held annually at the River Bend Resort, which has both tenting and glamping options and is therefore more accessible to our less adventurous community members. Our Spring trip is a more traditional tent-camping trip and typically entails children floating down the river while parents talk and drink under the shade trees, and, as always, at least one community meal. We had 350 people (representing 110 families) sign up for our Fall camping trip, and we are in the midst of planning our Spring trip! We continue to make everlasting memories and new friends. We hope to see you and your family at one of our upcoming trips! Brenda Adams, Camping Committee Chair (Olive ‘26)
