General information
Membership
The WVACS roster includes over 120 members, including surveyors, diggers, cave photographers, researchers, and just about every other type of caver. We welcome anyone interested in goal-oriented caving and the route to membership is straigh forward. Prospective members need only attend Project Weekends during which time you can gain a sponsor and become an associate member. You do not need to attend every Project Weekend. After six months, the membership votes during a business meeting whether an associate should become a full member.
Benefits of Membership
Members possess fieldstation keys, which allows them to use the facilities at any time. The two fieldstations include kitchens, showers, bunk rooms, laboratory, library, and a large meeting room. There is a rappeling tower in the backyard along with a fire pit. The only fees are $3/night and $1/shower. Annual dues are $20, which entitles members to receive the West Virginia Caver.
With over 1,000 caves in the immediate area, the fieldstations offer a great way to cave regularly without the hassle of camping or expense of staying in a hotel and eating out. Sound interesting? Email us at the address below.
