• A traditional maker space experience room is also in the building. Work and creation stations can be set up to support indoor activities such as virtual reality, laser art, etc. • Large restrooms and equipment storage make this building functional. [Note: the teaching kitchen, maker space room, restrooms and storage will be constructed as block structures and should be designed to serve as storm shelters.] • The large porch on the front of the building opens to the main greenway through camp. Large overhead doors will allow the space to be opened up for campers to flow from area to area Welcome Center and Pavilion The new welcome center will provide structure for a clear entry point off the main parking lot and provide additional covered seating for lunch for the growing day camp program. As guests arrive at TEKO throughout the year,this building will provide a clear welcome and place of entry. Through the main entryway is located lunch coolers for campers to drop off lunch,a small staff office to provide information and security as well as restrooms for immediate access. The pavilion area will have picnic tables to provide an additional lunch area for the growing camp program. This new pavilion is located to be adjacent to the current picnic pavilion. Program Cabins The master plan proposes replacing and enhancing the current camp cabins (by the waterfront and repurposing Arrow cabin and lower Ulam) to create sleeping areas that serve the resident portion of summer camp and weekend events hosted by Temple programming,such as the current sixth grade program. With TEKO as a primary day camp, cabin spaces need to be flexible to also serve as indoor program space in harsh weather. Four new cabins are proposed, each with 10 bunk beds, or a total of 20 beds per cabin, 80 in total for camper and staff use. Each cabin will also include a full restroom with two showers, two toilets and three sinks with accessible units available.Two different cabin villages are proposed with appropriate layout and design per location Program Cabin on the Hill One village will be on the hill at the far northwest corner of the property. This village will include two cabins connected by restrooms and a common deck. Each cabin will have a large back porch and ample interior floor space for rainy day programming as needed. As these cabins are built, TEKO leaders may wish to be creative in how the beds are designed to be on the outside walls, but not necessarily accessible when not in use for program. A leader room is connected to the southern end of this village to house senior program staff in the village area. Program Cabin in the Woods The second village is on the southern hillside overlooking the lake.While the components are the same,the layout is different utilizing the hillside and creating a large screened porch at the rear of the building.The common deck connects the two cabins. One of these two cabins will include a leaders room. Leader Lodge The master plan proposes a leader lodge to be located just east of the bowl. This small building will have two components, a lodging area for guests and a program area for junior counselors. • The half of the building used for lodging will include two bedrooms,each large enough for a queen size bed with a shared bathroom in the center of the private rooms. These rooms will provide lodging for visiting Rabbi's or other guests who need overnight accommodation. A small kitchenette is also in the shared area. [Note: currently guests will stay with the Camp Director.] • The other half of the building will be a common area for the junior counselor program. A large room with restroom and storage will provide a space for training and group bonding. This function currently is in the upper Ulam. 2 of 5
