Young Life TWL Dining Hall

Young Life's Timber Wolf Lake is a multi-phased youth camp consisting of a master plan and fourteen different buildings. Currently, thirteen of these buildings have been completed with the Assigned Staff Building being the most recent in the fall of 2008.

The DK Design Group has an ongoing relationship with Young Life and will continue to assist them in completing this $27 million project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Club Building serves as the camp's worship center and auditorium. Its interior and exterior performance areas will serve campers on a daily basis. The Club Building will also play host to visiting groups of up to 600 people.

 

 

 

 

 

The Club is constructed of exposed timber and steel trusses and exposed timber columns.  It is designed to seat up to 550 guests on carpeted, concrete steps while still maintaining barrier-free access to the raised platform and the seating area.  The sliding barn style doors which open to the open courtyard allow the praise team to lead activities for groups outside as well as inside.

This building was completed in the spring of 2006.

 

The Dorm buildings were designed to house up to 112 people in 8 "cabins".  This two story, wood frame dorm has proven to be  very useful during camp season and during the retreat season.  Each cabin has its own bathroom and all eight share a common, two-story lounge/meeting room.

Four of these dorms have now been constructed.

 

 

The Assigned Staff Housing was designed with longer term guests in mind.  This building houses staff of the camp in the summers, and can be utilized for retreat groups in the off-camp seasons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This large shared lounge area, sets opposite a similar dining and kitchen area.  These spaces greatly appeal to retreat groups, allowing for meeting and dining spaces all within one building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This 10-suite building incorporates larger, two-bedroom suites which are joined with a spacious bathroom.
