The Tamarack Camps Story
Summer after summer, camper after camper, the precious memories of Tamarack Camps live on throughout our community. At every age and stage of personal development, each child embarks upon a unique journey, developing a greater sense of self-esteem and self-confidence. Committed to providing each camper with a quality, Jewish camping experience since 1902, Tamarack Camps offers the ideal time and space for exploration and discovery. Judaic values and ethics intersect with a beautiful, natural setting, surrounded by energetic, nurturing staff.
Campers conclude our programs with a deeper understanding and appreciation for their Jewish heritage and traditions. In our informal camp settings, Jewish culture and values are woven into daily camp life in a fun, exciting and enriching way. In all of our programs, a child's Jewish identity takes shape, as we deliver an amazing, Jewish camping experience of hiking, canoeing, athletics, song, dance and so much more.
