Greetings,
Just heard about your Camp this past week while working with youth at another camp. It was suggested to me that I contact your group to see how one might become part of your group and share my passion for “arts & crafts” using the bounty of gifts from “mother nature”. Look forward to a response. Sincere appreciation, Carole

Jennifer,

Michael is a graphic designer or art director, whatever you want to call it. His department subscribes to and shares a few different mags, and I guess they find architectural magazines interesting.

Metropolis is one of my favorite magazines – but I don’t subscribe, and don’t always have time to read it at the library or online. I missed the green issue entirely. Is Michael an architect? Or a designer?

I’m glad you like it. That would make a good offbeat post. I read that the tree would live for 50 years like that.

Michael brought home Metropolis magazine from work, and it was the green issue! Bainbridge had gotten an award, so they wrote about it. Really cool place and a good concept.

That treehouse rocks! I have to show that at Offbeat. I remember that I used to get National Geographic for kids (as a kid) and there was a bio-dome camp where kids could go stay for a week or two (maybe a summer?) and learn how to grow their own food, build shelter, etc. But everything was in the dome. It was crazy neat. I wanted to go sooooo bad. I wish I could remember the name; that’ll learn me to keep my magazines from when I was small.
