He has taught extensively, including in Montreal, Cape Dorset (Nunavut), Inuvik (N.W.T.), Dickinson (North Dakota), Poitiers and Sauvé (France), and since 1998 at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, where he maintains a studio. Campbell also spends time at his seaside studio on Hornby Island, British Columbia, utilizing local materials like rock, metal, wood, and debris in his work.[2][4]
