Projects – Let’s Grow Together

Things are certainly looking good at Timberline these days! We have completed many significant upgrades to the property, and there are still more in the planning stages.

The past 12 years have been busy with re-building old infrastructure and improving most of our facilities. We are now finally working on Phase IV, which includes a gymnasium that has been planned and re-planned for several decades! See below for some specifics of what has been completed, as well as current and possible future plans.

We want to extend a big Thank You to all of our private and corporate donors, who have each played an important role in these projects.

If you are able to help in any way, please let us know by emailing the Executive Director, Craig Douglas.
