Directors: Lavinia Schoene

Description: Explore the nature of the West Virginia Appalachians with dynamic, knowlegeable, caring staff. BCWS incorporates laughter, games, arts and music into a relaxed but high quality program on animals, plants, geology, astronomy, ecology and conservation. Small in size, with a high staff:camper ratio, small groups, independent projects and a non- competitive attitude, this camp builds a lasting community. BCWS is located in a beautiful remote 500 acre mountain sanctuary, 2.5 hours from the DC area.
