THE VILLAGE

Location  

The property is located 600 feet above the Valley floor, mitigating smog that can accumulate on the Valley floor in the summer, and providing, on average, an extra foot of snow per year as compared with the Valley region. Populated with a balance of coniferous and deciduous trees and very healthy grown cover, the lake water is warm enough in the summer months for swimming and boating activities. The lake itself is more than 10 kms long and two kms wide, providing superb water activities. The greater Valley area offers many excellent camping and out tripping opportunities. The site is located approximately 15 minutes from Kentville and New Minas, and 90 minutes from the IWK Health Centre.


Environment  

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.
