The A-Way Team: At Your Service

Begun in 2010, the A-Way Team is a community service team made up of campers, parents, and other friends of Alvernia. The team puts hands and feet to the Alvernian Way: Respect Yourself, Respect Others, Respect Your Environment. Hundreds of local parents and campers have participated, conducting “missions” serving the poor and elderly locally, as well as children in Haiti affected by the recent earthquake. Please consider helping this important program continue.
