Dude - you have Hipathletics up in NJ - one of the nicest 'open to all' indoor vaulting training centers on the east coast. Earl Bell helped set it up, and Tom (the owner) is a good guy. The website it Hipathletics.com - you're in more luck than most people who have to travel quite far for an indoor facility (i.e. - me last year travelling to HIP from MD and Delaware - but I decided to create my own for this year, so we'll see how that goes)

Well for outdoors theres always FiberBenders and then the camps at Slippery Rock and Kutztown in the summer - but I dont know of any in the winter. Indoor vault facilities arent easy to come by and maintaining/paying for them isnt easy either - you've gotta take what you can get.

Okay this is more helpful...an extraction from and article about one of his athletes....

She's a member of Mike Lawryk's Vertical Assault Club in Bethlehem, which transformed her from a 7-6 vaulter to an 11-footer by the end of last year.
