07 Camp Carbon This design concept draws inspiration from the cyclical process of carbon sequestration, as demonstrated by the White Oak Tree, native to the Poconos. Carbon moves repeatedly between different components of the ecosystem, enabling living things to grow. In this spirit, Camp Carbon will aim to function as an undisturbed forest and wetland ecosystem, minimizing carbon output and fostering sustainability. Simultaneously, the camp will offer essential amenities to support both campers and staff.
I sought to mirror the concept of growth, much like the White Oak Tree absorbs carbon to build mass, which is reflected in its rings. These rings not only mark the passage of time and growth but also provide the structure and stability the tree needs to continue thriving. Just as the rings support the tree, Camp Carbon will serve as a supportive foundation for local youth, encouraging learning, exploration, and a deep connection with the natural world around them.
