CCVA WILL BE HELD AT THE 4-H CENTER IN FRONT ROYAL, VA,
FROM AUGUST 27-30 2009!


After a long and very successful run at the 4-H Center in Jamestown, VA, the NVCSA Interim Board of Directors would like to announce that Cue Camp Virginia (CCVA) will be moving this year to the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal, VA.

This mountaintop facility is approximately a 60-minute drive west from Fairfax, VA, and is located only a few miles from Interstate 66. On-site lodging (with walls that go to the ceiling), dining facilities, conference facilities with six break-out rooms, and recreational facilities (including pool) are superb. A bonfire pit is also available, for more than enough s'mores-making!

In keeping with NVCSA’s Mission of Education, Advocacy and Support, the Board believes the new Front Royal location offers a more convenient destination, which will entice those Fairfax area elementary and pre-school families who have not been able to come to CCVA in the past a good reason to do so.

The details are still being developed – classes, activities, seminars, a keynote speech and more. A CCVA Committee is in place, but we can always use more help – get involved! Email info@nvcsa.org to find out how. Our web site (www.nvcsa.org) will be updated as the schedule fills and as registration information becomes available.

Please direct any questions to info@nvcsa.org and your question will be routed to the appropriate party.
