Modern nature: Forest Technology camp sees first major upgrade in more than 30 years

When NAIT instructor Rodger DeChamplain (Forest Technology '92) first arrived at the Kidney Lake camp as a student in the fall of 1990, it was what could best be described as a rustic learning environment.

"We had cabins that were heated by wood," he says. Splitting logs to stay warm at night was a daily chore shared by classmates after full days of learning in the field.   

Fellow instructor Ashley Lawson (Forest Technology '99) also recalls digging trenches to keep their food cool and away from critters, because of the lack of electricity at the site for refrigerators.
