Long-time annual donors — and proud Bubbie Zaydie campers — Debbie and Norman Trepeck wanted to ensure their support had a lasting impact. Norman sent his daughters to Tamarack and is watching with pride as his grandson, Ethan, continues his Tamarack journey as a camper. Debbie has fond memories of her own youth spent at Tamarack and wants to help provide for others what her parents provided for her. By recently creating an endowment fund, the Trepecks are proud that their legacy and financial support will continue for generations to come.

Past Tamarack Camps president Brian Kepes and his wife, Fern, created an endowment fund years ago. Recently, when reflecting on their Jewish values and what they wanted their legacy to be, they made a significant contribution to grow their existing fund. Fern and Brian are community leaders who have experienced Tamarack’s impact on campers and staff members — and our entire community — and it is important to them that the future of Tamarack Camps remains secure.

  • Both of my children had an amazing time at camp this summer. I just wanted to say thank you to the amazing staff for making their first time awesome! They were both so nervous when they got on the bus and were so sad about being away from camp when they got home! Overall, camp was a huge success!

  • My child came home and would have liked to get right back on the bus to go back! He talked about how much he loved his counselors and the friends he made. It was a great summer for him.

    Lauren, Happy Tamarack Parent

  • I send my kids to Tamarack every year for the past 6 years. From the second they get on the bus headed to their second home in Ortonville until they are returned to me, I do not worry about them. I know that they are safe. I know that they are growing. I know that they are making lifelong friendships. Thank you!
