Current Projects

Fircom is gaining ground!

As we rebuild Fircom, there are many helpful hands along the way!

If you or your company would like to take on a project for Camp Fircom, or if you would like to receive information about upcoming work-retreats, please contact Neil at the Fircom Office.

Labour Day Weekend, 2008.
Kate, Carlos, Penny, two Ians, a Felipe, two Claires, Tim, Phils, Margie, Eadoin, Craig, Bronwyn, and Casey, Breagh, and Neil, played hard and worked even harder at Camp Fircom last weekend.
Together we painted cabins, washed windows, cleanued up a building demolished by a tree, fixed water tanks, pipes, and doors!
We also ventured up the hill to visit with our new friends at "Lightwork Eco-Village", where we learned about cob-building from Christa and Julia!
1000 thank-you's to these new and old friends for joining us at this work-retreat, Fircom is all the stronger for your input and enthusiasm!
