EcoBuilding Program 
From small-scale projects to learning how to incorporate EcoBuilding into a professional practice, the Camassia EcoBuilding Program will teach you the basics in do-it-yourself green design and building. Our ‘demonstration’ projects are designed to be intellectually and physically accessible to layman and professional alike. Whatever your interest or skill level, the Camassia EcoBuilding Program will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn how to develop your own green building projects. Example projects include: Basic shelter construction, rainwater catchment systems, waste management systems, bio-filters, composting, food preparation and storage systems.

During the first week of the Full Five Week Program, participants take the multi-disciplinary Sustainability Seminar alongside participants from the other tracks of the Camassia Programs.
