The project
Urban Ecosystems Landscape Architects prepared a 10-year master plan for Camp Teko, an 18-acre wooded campus of rolling hills, wetlands and shoreline on Lake Minnetonka. First developed in the 1950s as a Boy Scout camp, it is now a long-established Jewish day camp for children aged 5 to 18.
The renewal supports gathering, education, recreation and environmental stewardship. Meadow-planted slopes, winding paths and stone-edged plazas tie new buildings into the landscape. The first phase was completed in 2023.
