All participants will be assigned a spot in a camper cabin and select staff cabins, based on when you were at camp. Upon registration, you will have the opportunity to request a few friends, and even request specific buildings. Iconic cabins (i.e. the Zoo, Grenada, Girls Swim, etc) will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We are excited to welcome any present or former Camp Tamarack camper or staff, 19+. Many different generations of Tamarackers are excited to return, so register early to secure your spot!
Thanks to the amazing response since launching the save the date, we are expecting a big turn out from all generations, and have limited capacity. As such, this will be a weekend for only former Tamarack campers and staff (you will be asked to submit the year(s) attended upon registration).
We understand life happens, and will be sorry you can’t make it. Let us know as soon as possible, so we can open your spot to someone else. We will refund your payment in full if you cancel by May 30, 2025. After, there will be an administrative charge equal to 50% of the fee paid up until July 31st. No refund will be available for cancellations after July 31st.
We are fortunate to have the best food in the camping business. We will have lots of delicious varieties at each meal, and you will have the opportunity to inform us of any dietary restrictions upon registering. Since no campers will be present, select adult beverages will be offered Saturday night (beer, wine, and coolers). Additional alcohol may be brought, but we ask you to please consume safely and be respectful of the property and mindful of the overall purpose of the weekend.

We are going to have a pre-order of exclusive Tamawear available in the months prior to Homecoming Weekend. All orders will be available for pickup at camp on Homecoming Weekend. There will also be limited quantities of Tamawear available to purchase from the Tuck Shop throughout the weekend.
All proceeds from the Homecoming Tamawear line will be donated to Kids in Camp Charity and to Kayla’s Children Centre.
Alcohol: Select adult beverages (beer, coolers and wines) will be offered at two designated times on Saturday night. Additional alcohol may be brought, but we ask you to please consume safely and be respectful of the property and mindful of the overall purpose of the weekend. If you do bring your own alcohol, please keep in mind that no glass bottles are allowed.
Smoking/Vaping: Smoking will be allowed at the fire pits, or our designated smoking area (small hockey rink near the front entrance). We ask that all butts be disposed of in a garbage can. There is absolutely no smoking or vaping inside any cabin or building at camp.
In Ontario, the legal age for consumption of alcohol and cannabis is 19. Tamarack’s policy is consistent with the provincial law. Those who choose to consume alcohol or cannabis must do so responsibly. If, for whatever reason, the Camp Directors feel that a guest is acting irresponsibly, they will be asked to leave the camp. No alcohol or cannabis will be permitted in any water vehicle. Cannabis is only to be consumed in designated smoking/vaping areas, not within a cabin or building. No illegal substances are permitted to be used or stored on camp property.
Tamarack staff have the right to refuse your participation in certain activities if they believe that you are intoxicated (via alcohol or cannabis).
