activities
At Outdoor School the days are full with science explorations and other campy activities! Here is a glimpse at what some of the activities at Camp Tamarack could be! Some the terms that we use to organize our days:​
​
FIELD STUDY
Studying science in a hands on approach that encourages exploration and investigation. We offer three field studies for each group with focuses in: Exploration 101, Decomposition, Fire Study or Water Study!
​
RECREATION
Every student will have the opportunity to participate in three recreations which include: canoeing, arts & crafts, and a combination of archery and court sports- including everyone's favorite, gaga ball!
​
CABIN TIME
Students are arranged into cabins by their teachers and get to spend some down time with their cabin coming up with skits for campfire and hanging out!
