ABOUT TAMARACK CAMPS
SPONSORSHIP IMPACT
Tamarack Camps provides children, teens, and young adults with a unique opportunity
to grow as leaders, develop confidence and gain independence – all in a safe, inclusive
environment. The opportunity to be together in the “fresh air” is more important than ever.
Research shows that the informal education that takes place at summer camp
strengthens identity and builds connections to one’s community.
Approximately one-third of Tamarack Camps’ summer population is unaffiliated with a
synagogue or temple, making the Tamarack experience integral to Jewish connection.

For over 120 years, Tamarack Camps has stayed
true to its mission of “building a vibrant community
by providing enriching Jewish camping experiences
for children and families, respectful of financial
ability.”
Tamarack Camps serves over 1,000 Jewish children
every summer through its residential camp
programs at Camp Maas, outpost experiences at
Camp Kennedy and Charles N. Agree Outpost Camp,
and on Teen Travel Trips to the Western states and
Alaska. It proudly partners with local congregations
and the Jewish Federation of Detroit in the
community’s biennial Sue & Alan Kaufman & Family
Teen Mission to Israel, and, in alternate years, the
Joy & Allan Nachman Teen Leadership Trip to Israel.
Through year-round family camps and
congregational programs, along with the Tamarack
Adventure and Retreat Center, which provides
outdoor educational programming for school,
community, and corporate groups, Tamarack
Camps serve nearly 12,000 additional participants
each year.

Tamarack transports campers away from
the constant, unrelenting stressors of
the real world to an exciting world full of
adventure and discovery — so they can
stretch themselves and grow stronger for it.

Tamarack changed who I
became on every level—
socially, spiritually,
physically.

The ability to grow up mentally,
in a fun, safe environment and
learn those skills, I think is
second to none.
