Circulation <br /> A key factor to utilizing the site well throughout the year is defined circulation routes, some of which are paved <br /> for improved accessibility and snow removal, while others are unpaved, possibly stone paths making wayfinding <br /> from area to area clearer. Some trails are bark and chip paths through the woods. Primary circulation proposed <br /> includes: <br /> • Paved, hard surface paths from the parking lot to the welcome center, program center, cabin <br /> villages and chapel will allow all guests to access these areas year round. Additionally a paved path <br /> to the lower level of the Chadar will provide access to this primary building. Note:an existing elevator <br /> in the Chadar provides access to all of the facility. <br /> • Unpaved trails are recommended throughout the property making connections to key areas including <br /> along the waterfront by the chapel, boating and swimming. <br /> • The plan provides definition for wooded trails making connections through natural areas and <br /> navigating steep hillsides with switch back trails to the waterfront trail. <br /> Makerspaces <br /> The master plan identifies areas that may be developed to be designated makerspaces. While program happens <br /> all across the property, these areas can be resourced with materials for focused and applicable teaching. <br /> Experiential education connected with Jewish values makes the camp event life-shaping. Areas designated <br /> include: <br /> 1. Technology <br /> • The traditional makerspace teaching room in the program center will be a space with infrastructure <br /> of electricity and internet connectivity to allow new technology programming, including virtual reality <br /> experiences expanding the camp teaching. <br /> 2. Teaching Kitchen <br /> • This key area of the program center allows for hands on teaching of Jewish cooking. <br /> 3. Garden <br /> • Currently a fire pit with a few benches and spruce trees create a nice area for a small group to gather. <br /> The plan proposes a maker space that is a garden with raised boxes of flowers and planting to create <br /> an area of beauty that campers can tend and care for throughout the summer. <br /> 4. Earth <br /> • This area of the property is wooded with a wet area that hosts a wetlands type ecosystem. Campers <br /> can explore water, mud, animals,trees, plants and more. <br /> 5. Arts <br /> • The lower level of Ulam will be opened up to host an expanded art program. The area allows for <br /> utilizing the patio outside the facility with a new terrace connecting the bowl. Outdoor art stations <br /> can expand creativity and exploration. <br /> 6. Woodlands <br /> • This part of the property provides a different experience than anywhere else on the site. Campers can <br /> explore the habitats of forest creatures and get lost among the trees (with staff close by, of course). <br /> 7. Water <br /> • The waterfront of TEKO provides great recreation opportunities, but it also can serve as a way to <br /> experience the importance of water in the Torah. <br /> 3 of 5 <br />
