Bringing Adventure to Life at Jellystone Park™ Caledonia

At Thrive Architects, we are thrilled to be part of the innovative transformation at Jellystone Park™ Caledonia with the creation of Randy’s Thrill Hill at Bear Paw Adventure Park. This exciting project is unlike anything the campground has seen before, and we’re honored to help bring it to life.

Our collaboration with Susan Lasecki of Ionic Structures and Design has been instrumental in shaping the vision for this attraction. Lasecki’s impressive renderings and structural design provided the foundation for our architectural work, ensuring the 1,500 sq. ft. steel-framed structure at the top of the hill not only serves as a thrilling launch point for the mega slide but also integrates seamlessly into the natural landscape. Designed for year-round fun, this hill will double as a sledding destination in winter, making it an all-season adventure hub.

Construction began in summer 2022, with groundbreaking in 2023, and we’re excited to see it completed just in time for the upcoming camping season. Randy’s Thrill Hill, named in memory of the late Randy Isaacson, will stand as a lasting tribute to his legacy and love for outdoor fun.

We can’t wait for campers to experience this incredible addition! Learn more at www.jellystone-caledonia.com.

Construction is set to begin on a transformative renovation at the Fox Run branch, bringing a fresh, modern update to the building. The project includes a full exterior makeover, blending contemporary design elements with the bank’s brand identity for a cohesive and inviting look.

Inside, the remodel will enhance functionality by adding four new offices, expanding the break room and teller areas, and creating dedicated spaces for a counting room and coupon room.

To further enhance the customer experience, a 1,600 SF addition will introduce a welcoming new vestibule, accessible restrooms, a spacious Community Room, and a large Manager’s office. Designed to complement the existing architecture, the addition will also feature a grander entrance, echoing the distinctive style of the Racine Ave. branch.
