Commitments

December 2024
Low Energy Use

Shepherd's Spring committed to limiting energy use anywhere possible in 2024. We finished converting all standard bulbs to efficient LED systems in the Poplar Village cabins. We also committed to keeping heating and cooling temperatures within limited ranges during peak hours and seasons.

December 2024
Water Conservation/River Protection Initiative

Shepherd's Spring committed to maintaining low-flow showers, sinks, and toilets. We committed to maintaining a low percentage of impervious surface on the grounds, as well as continued commitment to our standard conservation easement which limits construction and timber-felling, while requiring cultivation of native species and removal of invasive species.

December 2024
Remote Work Initiative

Shepherd\'s Spring committed to switching to remote/hybrid work for employees during the off-season to limit carbon emissions during regular commutes. Employees also switched to carpooling where possible.

July 2024
Paperless Summer Camp Registration

Shepherd's Spring completed the 2024 initiative to 100% paperless summer camp registration.
