By design, our campus is built to teach; the buildings and field structures offer important lessons about environmental sustainability. More than 50,000 people from around the world have visited IslandWood’s campus, many returning to their own communities inspired to incorporate what they’ve learned.

Like the rest of IslandWood’s campus, the new lodge and classroom will feature sustainable design, immersing children and adults in a model of green architecture. Our goal is to inspire visitors to consider their own ecological footprint and how their own choices at home, at school and at work impact the world.
