About Us

Camp Tamarack has earned the confidence and loyalty of thousands of campers, parents and staff. Tamarack’s large private property, surrounding a pristine Ontario lake, is the magical setting for the building of skills, friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Camp Tamarack has a unique, challenging and fun premise that is appealing to campers and parents. We provide our 6 to 16-year-old campers with an exciting and unparalleled overnight summer camp experience. We strive not only to expose them to an amazing blend of opportunities and programs, but also to build each camper’s self-esteem, confidence and independence. The values of respect, responsibility and perseverance are incorporated into all aspects of camp life. Teaching campers to be team players as an integral part of the Tamarack community goes hand in hand with recognizing that each camper is an individual with unique needs and goals.

The collective experience of Tamarack’s directors in overnight camping and recreational and other programming, makes Camp Tamarack the best destination for your camper’s summer experience.
