Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center
Private
Outdoor-education and retreat center on the 1,100-acre wooded Tamarack Camps property in Ortonville (northern Oakland County), framed by two lakes. It hosts day trips, overnight trips and multi-day group retreats with ropes courses, environmental education, wilderness-skills and pioneer programs; the property's open-enrollment kids' summer camp is Tamarack's Camp Maas. This listing is primarily a group-rental and retreat facility rather than an open-enrollment day camp.

★★★★★Steven StreetWe had 5th grade camp here, it was a great time for the kids!
★Jasmine RobertsI have been camping here for over 20 years I started going with my mom and grandparents and 10 years ago began bringing my own family . I loved it here it makes me remember my childhood and now experiencing it with my own children . It has gone through multiple owners and new rules which I 100% always respect the new rules and always understanding things change. HOWEVER to be kicked out not 1 single warning of a new rule that began 2 months ago and said they sent out an email (knowing now not everyone received) wasn’t not any any contact we signed or in the new booklet or stated when entering the park I am beyond upset !! My family was completely heart broken ! And BRUCE was absolutely inhuman for watching my family crying as we had to pack up and leave without a SINGLE WARNING. I grew up here and I just can’t even believe I am writing this
★★★★★Adriana LupoI went here for a field trip in elementary school and it was the best field trip ever I had so much fun, We did so many fun activities. I’m in my last year of high school now and I still think about it, such a great memory that will last forever. I wish I could go back.
★★★★Shanita ShermanGreat place for children's school camping. Lots of great activities and the staff are very knowledgeable. They said there would be water located throughout the area for refills, but I did not see any that had any water in them. Other than that it was a very successful 4th grade trip
★★★★★Brian BWent here with a school group on a day trip, wow what a nice place. All of the areas we used were maintained very well. The staff were all so nice and connected very well with everyone. The staff kept everyone involved throughout the day. Bailey was our group leader and she was fantastic. She kept the tasks moving along at a good pace with positive and encouraging words. Tal was our leader for the rope course working with Jack and Rory. They continued the same great positive interaction with everyone. What a great opportunity and experience! Hope we get invited back again.
