Camp Tamarack

Although our Summer Camp season has come to an end, we still want to recognize our amazing staff this season! So we will continue to share a little about them for the next bit before most leave us and hopefully next year we will see them again!

🌟 Meet Gizmo! 🌟

Bringing music, adventure, and a serious love for trying new things to Camp Tamarack! 🧗🎶

Gizmo is joining us from Devon, England, for her first season as a Camp Leader! Her favourite colour is blue, she has a dog named Maggie, and if there’s an outdoor adventure involved—you can probably count her in.

Currently studying Outdoor Adventure and Sport, Gizmo has completed her Climbing Assistant Instructor course and is working toward becoming a Paddlesport Instructor. She’s also a runner who has completed two half marathons and has her sights set on her first full marathon! 🏃

And somehow there’s MORE! Gizmo plays piano, drums, and the bugle, has taught snare drum, volunteers with Sea Cadets, completed her Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, AND has earned her RYA Watchleader qualification on a tall ship. ⛵

Clearly, sitting still isn’t really Gizmo’s thing. 😂

🌟 Meet Mnau! 🌟

Bringing creativity, kindness, and a little piece of Czechia to Camp Tamarack! 🧡

Mnau is joining us from Žďár nad Sázavou, Czechia, for her first season as a Camp Leader! Her favourite colour is orange, she loves crafting—especially crocheting and making jewelry—and she’s a BIG cat person. In fact, her family has five cats on their farm! 🐱

Mnau is currently studying Social Pedagogy with a focus on working with children and already has camp experience as a group leader at a children’s camp back home in Czechia.

For Mnau, one of the best parts of camp is the connections that are made along the way—meeting new people and being there to share in both the happy moments and the harder ones. 💛

e🌟 Meet Fern! 🌟

Bringing curiosity, creativity, and a love of discovery to Camp Tamarack! 🌎💙

Fern is joining us all the way from Medan, Indonesia, for her first season as a Camp Leader! She loves a little bit of everything—arts and crafts, group games, outdoor adventures, and especially activities where everyone can jump in and be part of the fun.

Currently studying Life Sciences, Fern is fascinated by the world around her. From discovering how animals adapt to wondering why certain birds seem to show up everywhere, she loves asking questions, learning new things, and sharing that curiosity with others. 🔬🌿

Fern is excited to meet all the campers still to come, to try new things, and see what THEY come up with! She’s loving all the fun, creative, and maybe slightly unexpected activities campers have chosen along the way so far! 😄

There are just TWO WEEKS LEFT until Back to School Camp! 🎒🌲

Our Back to School Camp is the perfect way to squeeze a little more adventure into summer. 💚

Spots are limited!

👉 Register today at www.camptamarack.ca REGISTER ONLINE at the top of the page!

We can't wait to welcome your camper! 🧡

💚 The last first day of camp. 💚

Today we welcome our final group of campers for Summer Camp 2026!

It feels like we were just getting started, and somehow we’ve already arrived at the final drop-off of the summer.

For now, there are still bags to unpack, bunks to choose, names to learn, schedules to discover and an entire week ahead.

So, for the last time this summer…

Welcome to camp! We’re so glad you’re here. ☀️

A different kind of Saturday Smile post today… because we hope this one brings you a little chuckle. 😂

After watching so many kids head home from camp this summer, we thought about the kinds of conversations you had with your kids on the car ride home.

Are we wrong to assume there is approximately 847 adventures they apparently cannot recall at pickup. 😂

Anyone have a camper who gives you ALL the details? Or are you also getting the classic “good” and “stuff”? 🤣

Happy Saturday! 💚

🌟 Meet Roo! 🌟

Bringing music, creativity, and a little Aussie adventure to Camp Tamarack!

Roo is joining us all the way from Adelaide, Australia, for her first season as a Camp Leader! Her favourite colour is pink, and back home she has two dogs named after Looney Tunes characters—Bugs’y and Lola! 🐾

Roo has been performing since she was a kid, from bands and musicals to acting, and has also spent time helping with youth theatre. But the stage isn’t her only comfort zone! She attended a school with a strong focus on outdoor education, where she developed plenty of skills for camping and enjoying the outdoors.

Roo is loving those classic camp moments. Getting to know everyone around the campfire, sharing plenty of laughs, and helping campers continue to create memories they’ll carry home with them. 🔥💗

What does your donation to Camp Tamarack actually support? 💙💚🧡

It supports the moment a camper looks at something that feels a little scary and decides to give it a try.

It supports new friendships. The kind built through laughter, campfires, adventures and simply getting to be a kid.

It supports a place where campers can feel seen, included and accepted for exactly who they are.

And it supports so many moments in between that are hard to capture in a photo. ❤️

Through Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, your donation to Camp Tamarack can help us continue creating these experiences for children and youth in our community. Right now, your gift can go even further with donations eligible to be matched up to 50%.

We’re in the final stretch of this year’s campaign, and every gift matters.

Big or small, it all helps create more opportunities for kids to discover:

💪 I CAN BE brave.
🌱 I CAN BE confident.
🤝 I CAN BE a friend.
💙 I CAN BE me.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, cheered us on and helped make camp possible.

There’s still time to be part of it. 💙
