Environment

The Aylesford Lake property is currently undeveloped. Brigadoon must upgrade the existing 1.6 km logging road onto the site and the site must be readied for water systems, environmental controls and waste management systems, electrical service and distribution and landscaping. Subscribing to Brigadoon’s objectives and ideals, the site will be prepared using the latest in alternative energy and sustainable building practices and theories.

First and foremost, Brigadoon is a camp. Camp is its own world of nature, fun, adventure and escape. To this end, and to eliminate any institutional appearances, camp buildings will be sited loosely to the concept of a slow-growth rustic village. Clusters of buildings will be organized to appear as though the camp has been slowly evolving over time, in a somewhat random fashion. Landscape will not be heavily controlled; rather forces of nature such as erosion and natural vegetation will be an integral part of the aesthetic. A fine line between nature and human intervention will make for a practical natural setting. Spaces ranging from personal and intimate, to huge and public, will be carefully planned and allowed to evolve over time. Appreciation for nature and the exuberance of camp life will combine harmoniously.
