Our Story, Your Summer

Tamarack Trail Camp began in 2016 with twelve campers, three tents, and one big idea: that kids grow the most when they're free to roam, try, and belong. Ten summers later, that idea fills a whole valley.

A Camp Built on Belonging

Every trail we blaze, every song we sing, and every marshmallow we toast serves one purpose: helping kids discover what they're capable of. Our counselors are trained educators, lifeguards, and wilderness guides — but first, they're professional encouragers.

  • 1:6 counselor-to-camper ratio in every group
  • Certified lifeguards and wilderness first-aiders on site
  • Unplugged days — no phones, all adventure
10 summers running
900+ happy campers yearly
40 trained counselors
120 acres of trails

What We Stand For

1

Safety First

Background-checked staff, fenced lakefront, nightly cabin checks, and a nurse on site every hour of every day.

2

Every Kid Included

Scholarships, adaptive gear, and quiet-space cabins mean no child sits out — every camper finds their crew here.

3

Wild & Curious

We trade screens for streams. Campers track wildlife, read maps, build fires, and learn by getting wonderfully muddy.

The Folks Behind the Fun

Our leadership team brings 60 combined summers of camp craft — from wilderness rescue to theater directing. Meet them properly on the home page, then come shake their hands at opening day.
