The mosaic project
camp + environmental school
The Mosaic Project Camp is an overnight camp and environmental school for young people with the mission of working towards a future with peaceful communities through the unity and celebration of diverse children. The campground in Castro Valley, California is proposing new construction which will include site modification to create the vision for an engaging, vibrant, unforgettable outdoor learning environment.
The overall project includes new dorm buildings, shower house, and main camp building. The goals of the site are to greatly minimize their water footprint, as well the conditions of the site limit water and sewer utility connections, requiring innovative water management. To meet these goals, an onsite blackwater treatment system in conjunction with greywater, stormwater, landscape and resource management design plans are a priority for the client as the basis of design.
