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. Our key facilities project this year is a cabin remodel to bring new insulation, flooring, lighting, bunks and changing room. 

 

Our high school volunteer 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 program. Our Tamarack staff travel to high schools throughout Central Oregon to meet with schools, present our program, and recruit high school leaders. We organize special events and outdoor experiences, like Outdoor Leadership expeditions for our volunteer community throughout the school year. Our high school volunteers grow a sense of leadership and belonging, and join a purposeful community.
