Virginia Adventure Education Conference An excellent, accessible, and inexpensive networking and professional development day.

The purpose of this gathering is to provide a one-day professional development experience for students and professionals involved in adventure-based education and recreation. Our goal is to bring together outdoor professionals throughout Virginia for networking, learning, and becoming more aware of like-minded colleagues in our state. We seek university students involved in outdoor recreation to participate and network. Camps, outdoor programs, outdoor schools, adventure-based guiding services, public outdoor recreation service providers, outdoor gear companies, businesses, and other organizations involved in outdoor pursuits are encouraged to attend as vendors and sponsors to share resources and recruit staff.
