GET INVOLVED

Camp Tamarack’s programs and future vision are made possible with your support!

Donations from individuals, family partners, and business partners; grants and in-kind support all play an essential role in helping to ensure that our programs are vibrant, meaningful, and sustainable.  

OUR funding needs

We are asking for donations for the following purposes:

The Brynne Smith Summer Camp Scholarship Fund 

Camp Tamarack is committed to making camp inclusive and accessible for students of all backgrounds and welcoming kids whose families are unable to pay the full cost of the program. We offer partial and full scholarship opportunities for students every summer. We have been expanding our scholarship opportunities and our goal is to provide 20% of our summer campers each year with scholarships.

​

Caring for Our Facilities

Restoring Camp Tamarack to a vibrant place and maintaining its vibrancy with healthy facilities is an ongoing labor of love! After purchasing the camp in 2013 we inherited many greatly-needed repairs. We have worked hard to revive and renew Camp Tamarack’s plumbing, electrical, and septic systems, to re-roof the lodge and cabins, and to provide new heating sources for cabins.  Our work is ongoing. Upcoming projects for the next 2 years will be to 1) build three outdoor pavilions around camp, which will serve as outdoor classroom and activity spaces that will keep everyone dry and shaded and 2) install a new ADA accessible dock that will allow all campers to access and enjoy canoeing and waterfront activities. 

 

Our Student Leader Program  

An invaluable leadership opportunity that can guide high schoolers toward careers in education and conservation by volunteering to serve one-week as cabin leaders, role models, and teachers at our Outdoor School and Wellness programs. Our Tamarack staff travel to high schools throughout Central Oregon to meet with schools, present our program, and recruit Student Leaders. We organize special events and outdoor experiences for our Student Leader community throughout the school year. Our Student Leaders grow a sense of leadership and belonging, and join a purposeful community in which they can flourish.
