Timberhaven’s motto “Your Dream … Our Passion” is relevant every single day. But on the day Timberhaven was chosen by Juniata Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America Seven Mountains Scout Camp to design and manufacture the new John M. Kriner II memorial lodge, the tagline held especially true.
“It was and continues to be an honor to have been selected as the manufacturer for the Kriner lodge. Working alongside Jim Kennedy, Scout Executive/Executive Director, to bring Mr. and Mrs. John M. Kriner’s honorary lodge to life.” says Lynda Tompkins, Timberhaven’s principal. “It is deeply gratifying to see this project come to fruition in memory of John M. Kriner II.”

At that time, Scott Tice, a local home builder, will begin laying the logs for John M. Kriner II Lodge. “I take great pride in seeing my client’s dream homes become a reality, but being selected by the Juniata Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America Seven Mountain Scout Camp to build this memorial project comes with the deepest respect and gratification.” Scott said. “I value the trust and confidence and sincerely appreciate the loyalty they found in me as a builder, and I am deeply honored to help bring this special project to life.”
