DISCOVERY SCHOOL Scottsville Presbyterian Church

The Discovery School in rural Buckingham County serves young men who are experiencing emotional, behavorial or learning problems. The school uses a group problem solving process and the natural environment to promote young men's overall positive development.

Boys from the school regularly attend worship with Scottsville Presbyterian Church. Recently, they invited church members to visit the school, share lunch and see their campsite. Eight SPC members did so.

Below are photos of the tour that took place after lunch.
