The Mosaic Project

The Mosaic Project

This proposed project would provide a camping facility for The Mosaic Project’s primary program, its Outdoor Project. The Mosaic Project’s mission with The Outdoor Project Camp is to work toward a peaceful future by uniting children of diverse backgrounds, providing them with community building skills, and empowering them to become peacemakers through a multi-day nature-oriented experience. The proposed project would consist of demolishing an existing 7,500-square-foot garage, improving trails and miscellaneous dirt or gravel roads, and constructing components critical to the proposed project’s mission. These components include twelve 400-square-foot camping cabins; a two-story, 40-foot-high, 8,500-square-foot central meeting and dining hall; a 1,025-square-foot restroom/shower building; a two-story 2,600-square-foot staff housing building; use of an existing 1,200-square-foot caretaker’s unit; and sewer infrastructure that includes an on-site septic tank with a leach field dispersal system. The proposed project, including all recreational facilities and caretaker residences, would encompass an area totaling 2 acres. Water for the proposed project would be pumped from on-site groundwater wells to an above ground treatment system for contaminant removal.
