Camp Kawartha Environment Centre

Camp Kawartha Environment Centre Sustainable Building & Community Hub
Environmental Education, Nature School, Rentals & Day Camps

Using innovative green architecture; the Camp Kawartha Environment Centre showcases alternative energy in action. Designed and built by students in Fleming College’s Sustainable Building Design and Construction program, the centre is, in the words of program coordinator and award winning sustainable builder Chris Magwood "Canada’s most sustainable building." Located on more than 200 acres of Trent

University’s stunning wildlife sanctuary lands, this unique 2,000 square foot structure is open for programming year round and will accommodate up to 80 people at any one time. Educating for a sustainable future is a proactive way to instill hope among Canadians: hope to move beyond a fossil fuel economy, hope to live more gently and sustainably in our communities and hope for our children to experience a cleaner, greener future. The Environment Centre showcases:

* Straw bale insulation
* Slip straw and hempcrete insulation
* Earth bag foundations
* Living green roof
* Passive solar design
* Net-zero energy photovoltaic solar system
* Geothermal radiant floor heating
* Solar hot water system
* Rainwater harvesting and treatment system
* Constructed wetland grey water filtration system
* Composting toilets
* High efficiency windows and doors
* 50% recycled steel slag concrete floors
* Cordwood bench
* Reclaimed bricks
