It is Time to Build Critter Camp's GREEN Sanctuary Building!

Entire Rooms $5000
Name the Building $200,000 contact us for info
Hurry NOW and order your TILE!!
All tiles will be ash gray with black infill and will be strategically placed on the interior walls as you enter the new facility and on the information desk base for maximum exposure. Interior tiles were chosen over bricks so they will be visible year round, never obstructed by snow cover.
This purchase will be a one-time cost. There are no annual fees and your tile will be there for many years to come.
Set aside a bit of your tax refund to honor your family, a pet, a relative or friend. Give your business exposure to thousands of animal loving visitors, tourists and local residents. A donor tile makes a great gift too!
Tile purchases will be acknowledged on our new Building Benefactor Page here on our Critter Camp website and progress will also be posted. Businesses purchasing tiles will receive a LIVE link on our benefactor page too. As funds are raised work will begin. First the utilities will be connected, then site preparation, etc.
Tiles and engraving are being ordered through Donor Bricks: http://www.donorbricks.com/

footprint! Which will also keep operating costs down too!

• On insulated cement slab to retain heat/cooling factor
• Fully insulated building - high R factor
• The entire south side will be filled with large window/patio door glass high-e panes with the roof overhang at the precise angle to capture the most winter sun and shield the summer sun for maximum passive solar gain
• Roof will be steel plus photovoltaic cells
• Commercial wind generator will be used
• Back up conventional electric hook up
• Commercial emergency generator
• Fully heated, cooled & ventilated
• Fully handicapped accessible
• Utilize stainless steel, fiberglass, cement, tile, or marlite walls for easy cleaning and durability
