MAKING MEMORIES THAT LAST A LIFETIME

By Helayne Shaw, Family and Alumni Engagement Coordinator

Who said that camp was only for kids? This fall, our community’s parents joined in on the action by providing their children with unforgettable weekends at our Dad and Me and Mom and Me Family Camp programs! These Dads-only and Moms-only experiences were filled with sports, arts and crafts, campfires and s’mores, and the opportunity to share Shabbat and Havdalah together.

Tamarack’s Jewish camping experience is available to everyone…all year. And we’re just getting started. Both Dad and Me and Mom and Me weekends return in the spring of 2024. Dad and Me (May 10-12) is enjoyed in cabins at Camp Maas. Mom and Me (April 12-14) is hosted at Butzel Retreat Center with activities at Camp Maas and Butzel.


Additionally, applications are live on February 1, 2024, for nine Bubbie Zaydie Family Camp weekends in the summer of 2024! This special opportunity at Butzel is for grandparents to enjoy Jewish camping with their grandkids. We also partner with local congregations and organizations to provide family camp experiences – making multigenerational opportunities available and spreading the joy of Tamarack throughout our community.

New for 2024: Choose your own adventure! Choose your own adventure with adult-only and kid-friendly options at Camp Maas! More information coming soon.

  • Alumni Family Camp: August 14-18
  • Alumni Shabbat Reunion (ADULTS ONLY): August 14-18
