The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds’ (ARVC) 20 Group IV recently announced a donation to the ARVC Foundation to help create an annual scholarship that will cover the full cost of attendance for one individual at the National School of RV Park and Campground Management.
The donation was announced virtually during ARVC’s annual Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) earlier this month.
“ARVC 20 Group IV is proud to present its second annual campground management school scholarship to the ARVC Foundation,” stated Joe Moore, 20 Group IV administrative executive and past member. “Because 20 Group IV was founded by graduates of the school, we want to encourage and sponsor a deserving student to attend the school and gain the knowledge base that we were fortunate enough to receive. We trust that the ARVC Foundation will choose a qualified candidate to receive this scholarship and strengthen our campground industry through this education platform.”
ARVC’s 20 Groups include non-competing member campgrounds that connect to exchange of experiences, problems and ideas at regular meetings.
“The campground industry is built on passing knowledge on from one generation to the next, especially with so many businesses being family-owned and operated, so this generous gift continues in that tradition,” ARVC Foundation Executive Director Paula Horwitz stated. “National School is such a vital part of the outdoor hospitality industry, and for 20 Group IV to provide the opportunity to assist those who need a little bit of help is such an amazing gift.”
20 Group IV announced the donation to the ARVC Foundations Vice Chair Michael Hobby earlier this month during OHCE, the second year in a row the group has surprised the ARVC Foundation with a donation.
