Our Staff

Camp Tamarack's handpicked staff is recruited from around the world. On average our staff come from six different states and as many countries. They bring experience in working with children of all ages and attend a comprehensive staff training session prior to camp.

Each is skilled in encouraging young people to accept challenges, make responsible decisions, and work toward goals

Close personal attention is assured with a camper ratio of 4:1 and each staff member is specially trained to help children cope with being away from home and handling special needs. The unique international spirit, the fun and caring counselors, experienced staff in key program areas (such as our horse program), and a commitment to give the best possible summer experience keeps campers coming back to Tamarack year after year.

"The counselors were supportive, encouraging, and nurturing. I feel my daughter got on excellent opportunity to enhance her current skills and explore new ones." Family Comment
