Look - Learn - Build. July 26-28th 2019
Three hours north of Toronto, you'll be leaving your car behind as you boat, hike, and canoe into your secluded, unspoiled, lakefront campsite. We'll provide all your equipment for a 3 day, 2 night stay as you become better acquainted with how to:
- wire your own solar power
- build a tiny house from free materials
- pump, store, heat, and filter water without electricity or gasoline
- construct a super efficient wood stove (rocket mass heater) from natural materials
- make a solar dehydrator
- build a self-watering garden, and much more...
We will also be doing some short hikes to identify edible and medicinal plants, and depending on the size of the group be constructing a bio-sand water filter, earthen oven, or both.
Our off-grid eco-retreat is the perfect setting for some R&R. So when you're done your day's workshop, you can swim, hike, fish, forage, canoe, and kayak, all from your picturesque lakefront campsite.
Campers will supply their own food for this event, and will be provided with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen that includes pots, pans, steel sink, running water, gas stove, fire pit, grills, and more.
This unique interactive experience is limited to 8 participants, at a cost of $225 per person.
Unfortunately, pets will not permitted this weekend. Your spot will be secured once we have received your 50% retainer. Registration closes July 5, 2019.

About Your Hosts:
Seven years ago, Angela and Kyle bought a vacant 50 acre bush lot, used an axe to make a small clearing, and camped on the property while building a tiny house with hand tools out of stuff they found on the 'free' section of Kijiji. They went on to use clay, sand, and granite from their land to build a rocket-mass-heater for warmth. The two then built a bio-sand filter to make the lake water potable. As the years passed, they've managed to construct things like a hydraulic ram pump, water tower, a custom solar electrical system, self-watering gardens, composting toilets, and much, much, more.
Angela and Kyle live, work, and play at their off-grid property, making a living by hosting eco-tourists at their incredibly beautiful, handmade lakefront campground.
