Tamarack Camps
General SummaryThe Fresh Air Society, d/b/a Tamarack Camps, was founded in 1902 - initially organized as a camp for immigrant mothers and children (located on Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan).
From its humble beginnings over a century ago which started with 2 women providing a handful of children an opportunity to experience the fresh air, today, Tamarack Camps has grown to serve over 13,000 individuals, annually.
Our main campus in Ortonville, Michigan (Oakland County) is a 1200-acre reserve nestled a short distance from the urban bustle of Metropolitan Detroit -- yet feels like a different world.
This landscape provides a foundation, the canvas upon which Tamarack Camps has the potential to build, engage, connect, and educate countless individuals.
Annually, through its residential camping program at Camp Maas, Agree Outpost Camp (Ontario, Canada), Camp Kennedy (Munising, Michigan), three (and sometimes four) Western Trips, two Alaska experiences, and an excursion to Israel, Tamarack Camps is home to approximately 1,250 Detroit-area Jewish children and teens, as well as 90 Israeli campers.
In addition to its camper population, Tamarack Camps summer programming engages and trains a staff of 400 (approximately) college-age young adults from the Metro Detroit area and from around the world.
Further, throughout the year, Tamarack Camps also provides extensive family camp opportunities for 1,300 (approximately) additional participants (children and parents and/or grandparents).
