Shirt Update!!! They are back on!

I apologize for the hold up, and the scare, but we did manage to get the shirt order placed. There are a limited number available of each size.

If you already ordered, please double check that you didn’t get cancelled, we are working on reverting these. If you notice that your shirt did get cancelled, notify us ASAP so we can guarantee you a shirt.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are happy to be able to offer the design!

🍁 Registration is Open for the 2026 Fall NRO!

The Vermont Cavers Association is excited to welcome everyone to the 2026 Fall Northeastern Regional Organization, September 25–27 at Privacy Campground in Hancock, Massachusetts.

We’re looking forward to a great weekend of caving, learning, and catching up with friends from across the Northeast.

🦇 Throughout the weekend

* Guided cave trips
* Cave presentations
* NCC Auction
* Evening campfires
* Plenty of time to relax and socialize

🏕 The Campground
We’ve reserved the entire campground for the weekend, giving us access to nearly 500 acres of private forest, hiking trails, ponds, waterfalls, outdoor showers, and one of the campground’s biggest attractions—a wood-fired sauna.

Choose from tent camping, cabins, or private canvas tents.

🍽 Food
Meals are available throughout the weekend, including:

* Saturday & Sunday breakfasts with eggs, pancakes, sausage, and 100% pure Vermont maple syrup
* Saturday dinner featuring homemade oven-fired pizza, pasta, and fresh salad

👕 Extras
Event shirts and our new Vermont Cave Guidebook will also be available during registration.

Whether this is your first NRO or you’ve been attending for years, we’d love to see you there.
