Camp Koinon

DIGI-04.2023

Camp Koinon is a community of 40 adults as well as 10 farm and culinary professionals that are passionate about their wellness through the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. These provide our bodies with nutrients and in return provides rich soil and compost for the land it inhabits. In a 2 year cycle, 20 people will enter as students that rotate between farm and kitchen learning and by the time the second year arrives, they will take on more of a mentoring role to the new attendees.

Most time is spent between the kitchen (“canteen”) and farm; access between the two should be seamless. The kitchen is therefore laid out in the order of washing, sorting, preserving, cooking and eating. Adjacent to the canteen is the market where produce, preserves and other foods can be sold to the public.

Optimal rest is an important part of wellness so each camper is given a private bedroom and washroom. The cabins are nestled between groves of fruit trees that provide some privacy and immerse the attendees in the farming experience. Additionally, kitchenettes and laundry facilities are available throughout the cabin area in a more communal-style design.

Campers are encouraged to learn from one another and leave their egos behind.
