I’m Donna Bordeaux with Campground Accounting and I wanted to discuss with you today – How to Attend the ARVC National Campground School For Free!. I am a CPA and our firm is an industry specialist that works just with Campgrounds and RV parks. I want to take a moment to provide you with some insight on some benefits to can take advantage of if you are a member of ARVC.

If you are a member of your state organization, you’re probably also a member of ARVC.  Or, if you’re a member of ARVC directly, you can take advantage of this benefit. There is a school for teaching you skills to be a Campground Owner or Manager – the ARVC National School for Campground Professionals. Different levels are available. This school happens twice a year. There’s an Eastern and a Western campus. The Eastern Campus is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which is not too far from me.  The Western Campus is located in Denver, Colorado, and occurs in July.

Now, upcoming, you can apply for scholarships to attend the school for free. You can apply through the ARVC Website and I’m going to include a link just down below here in my article so you can apply right there, but this is not necessarily just need based. It is focused on helping smaller campgrounds who may have an unaffordable event to be able to send somebody to the school for a few days. It’s a two-year program, so you would go the first year and then you’d do the other program a second year later. So, if you would like to attend but have some financial constraints or some other issues you can apply for the scholarship. It does focus, like I said, on smaller campgrounds who may not be able to afford to send someone to the school, but you’re going to need to fill out the application.

If you are not the owner of a Campground, then the owner will need to write you a recommendation to send in with your application. And, if you are an owner, please do apply. There’s some fabulous information to be learned. Chad, my husband, attended the class and graduated this past year and there was a ton of valuable information. No matter if you are new owner, an operator, a manager, or if you’ve been at this for years, you will learn some new things and those golden nuggets can take you a long way. So, I hope you’ll apply today. ARVC has plenty of scholarships and sometimes it’s just a matter of filling out the paperwork and asking. Good luck to you.
