All are welcome –and accommodated.

Tamarack Camps welcomes campers and young adults with a variety of differences and abilities.

Yachad Inclusion Program

The Tamarack Camps Yachad Inclusion Program, formally known as the Nachman Horizon Program, offers a safe and secure environment for children entering 2nd-9th grade who have learning, social, and/or communication differences. Campers in our Yachad Inclusion Program are fully integrated into villages with same-aged peers and participate in bunk and village activities. These campers are supported by highly skilled staff members who receive additional training.

Yachad participants can register for Full or Mini sessions.

In an effort to ascertain a camper’s “best fit,” an interview/evaluation is required for the Yachad Inclusion Program.

Avodah Young Adult Program

Avodah is a job coaching and recreation program for young adults entering 9th grade, extending into their twenties. Avodah provides instruction in job skills, life skills, and offers social opportunities for those with learning, social, and communication differences.

As a group, Avodah participants live in cabins and spend their mornings working in specialty areas with the support of a job coach. In the afternoon, they enjoy Camp Maas activities.

Avodah participants can register for Full or Mini sessions.

In an effort to ascertain a camper’s “best fit,” an interview/evaluation is required for the Avodah Young Adult Program.
