The Cob Project Campus Seeking Applicants!

We are on 3 acres of land and starting a community of Earthhome-builders who want to assist in building Earthbag homes and Cob Cottages in Bend, Oregon. We have been researching various building techniques using the resources available in this desert region of OR.

Any volunteers are welcome who are either seeking cob-building experience, wanting to join a friendly earth-loving community, or to just have fun building with the resources of our blessed Mother Earth!

Contact us at Cobprojectcampus@usa.com or at kylejamesp81@yahoo.com

Thanks and Namaste!

We are the owners of the CPC and have plans to list our own announcements to our nearly free learning facility this year. Kyle is no longer involved with CPC and we would prefer that all contact goes to just us at r.nichols(at)mail. com If you have any questions please contact us at the above email address. The old email address listed in the previous post is no longer in use. Thank you. This years campus is shaping up to be mainly women and we would like to get some strong able men on board as well. We have a few primitive camping spots with vintage trailers that can be used by participants for their temporary stay and learn at CPC, but will be reserved fairly quickly. There is also tent camping sites on the property along with wireless internet, water and some electric. This facility is set up to learn Paleo style living off the grid and will be set as a tribal share community. If you have an issue living in a close tribal community please do not apply. Cob Project Campus will be teaching the following... sustainable growing with and without a greenhouse, storing and preserving food stuffs, how to build cob structures, independent electrical sources and so forth. We will be looking to hire a leader in teaching after this first year of observing students and their work ethics toward the facility and others participating in this.

Cob Project Campus is looking for strong physically able volunteers. Some of what we will be working on requires strength, common sense and good abilities to use tools in a safe and constructive manner in addition to reading and understanding educational materials. CPC is a permaculture off grid type eco-village in the making living experience... meaning solar and wind generation for power and outdoor "facilities" for tent campers. Outdoor kitchen and water is available for tent and trailer campers.

CPC has plans for several small 200 sq ft cob style rustic cottages and workshops to be completed for and by interns, stewards and volunteers. CPC is looking at a busy schedule for the 2014 spring/summer/fall season. An intern/volunteer application process will be required for participation.

Anyone that is strong and able bodied, educated and willing to share their time in learning or teaching more about permaculture or just want to be able to expand what you already know, are encouraged to contact us via response to this posting.
