Amazing camp! My four kids have been going since elementary school. The experiences at Tamarack have changed their lives in such a good way. I could write a book! Send your kids and start them young. They will make lifelong friends!
This was my first year at tamarack i was in fishman and it was ok. Fish man lived in sherouth villiage because fishman village was quarantine cabins and they sucked. They looked like jail. But sherouth village was amazing. I got sick tho but I got better. Lee trepeck the chief executive officer was always so energetic I loved it! We had candy day on wensdays and Sunday’s and it was so fun! I definitely recommend coming!
I just finished my last year at Tamarack, and I can’t imagine a better experience. With the older kids, the staff are more like friends who also keep you safe. There’s never a dull moment at Camp Maas, with activities like Art (Omanut), Nature (Teva), Theatre, Cooking, Music, High Ropes, Water-sports, General Swim, Ceramics, Archery, Jewish Programming (JP), and practically every sport. Additionally, there are INCREDIBLE experiences, like the All-Camp play, School of Rock, Tamarack Idol, and tons of sports competitions. That’s not even mentioning the unbelievable trips that campers go on. All of the Trippers who lead the trips are extremely knowledgeable about what they are doing and they are expertly trained, and they are equipped to handle everything. I really will miss going to Tamarack Camps.
My son’s counselor got almost the entire pod sick! I sent my child to a 10 day program thinking he would be safe, just to have the camp call me on day 4 to pick my son up, because he’s running a fever of a 102. All the children were required to quarantine and undergo a Covid test. I was also expecting that the counselors would be honest about their health screen. My child told me that the first counselor Austin was coughing and sneezing since the first day that they all arrived at camp!!! It is NOT okay to let contagious staff pass the flu or a bad cold to the campers!!! Then the second counselor got sick as well and then the children began to get sick one by one. My child said their entire village is like a mini-Pandemic! I am really upset and disappointed especially after hearing that both counselors were not sent home and are still there working. Yes. Both of them are still working. Also if you’re sending your kids to a 10 day program, please know that your kid will not have access to all of the fun activities that the 24 day program does, like swimming in the lake every day ect... I’m very disappointed at the lack of leadership and accountability! Just Unacceptable!
