JOEC and Time Warner Cable River Village Project

During the fall of 2005, Time Warner Cable partnered with JOEC to construct 5 straw bale cabins for its River Village.  Over 150 volunteers from TWC contributed over 1,000 hours of labor to complete the River Village. 

The rustic straw bale construction of the village makes it ideal for the challenging teen programming that JOEC offers in the summer to campers, ages 12-16.  The village is also a perfect staging area for the "Trail of Tears" living history drama offered to area school children as a part of the Outdoor Education Program.
