The VPI Cave Club is a nationally and internationally recognized 
student organization based at Virginia Tech. We’re dedicated to 
education, conservation, and adventure underground.


Founded in the heart of Appalachia, we’ve built a community of 
over 500 members (active and alumni) united by a shared passion 
for caves. With countless caves just a short drive from campus, 
we explore regularly through horizontal, vertical, sport, research, 
and surveying trips.


Our mission is to:

- Advance the science of speleology
- Promote safe and respectful cave exploration
- Encourage fellowship among students and alumni
- Protect and conserve the karst environment


Whether you're a beginner or experienced caver, there’s something here 
for you. Come learn the ropes, get muddy, and discover the underground 
world with us!
