What They Do

$9.0M in expenses

Tamarack camps has been a leader in jewish camping since 1902. Through a wide-range of summer overnight programs, including camp maas, teen travel trips, outpost camps and family camps, as well as year-round programming at the farber farm and tamarack adventure and retreat center (tarc), we offer enriching, life-changing experiences. We are proud to engage 15,000 children, teens, and adults each year, fostering confidence, independence, and a strong jewish identity. With the support of our community, we provide these experiences with respect to a family's financial ability and proudly offer more financial aid than any jewish camp in north america.
