  • Camp JRF Eco-Village
    Camp JRF, a Jewish Reconstructionist summer camp in the Poconos, is due to receive an Eco-Village upgrade just uphill from the existing camp. Designed by Metcalf Architecture & Design, the village includes a number of different social spaces as well as a myriad of sustainable building strategies and materials that will teach campers to respect the world around them. Campers provided input on the village through a series of workshops, and they will help build the new village as well, providing them with an additional sense of ownership while familiarizing them with sustainable building techniques.
