DescriptionBack to top

A co-ed, residential camp located less than 2 hours north of Toronto in the heart of beautiful Muskoka, Camp Tamarack has earned the confidence and loyalty of thousands of campers, parents and staff over the past 31 years. Tamarack’s private 1000 acre property, surrounding a pristine private lake, is the magical setting for the building of skills, friendships and memories for our 6 to 16 year old campers. We are proud of our amazing blend of land, water and arts programs and caring, committed and professional staff.
 
Tamarack strives to build each camper’s self-esteem, confidence and independence, teaching campers to be team players, while still recognizing that each camper is a unique individual. Tamarack’s Directors/Owners, Rick and Ellen Howard, together with Director Marc Cooper, have developed amazing traditions and continue to upgrade facilities and bring fresh ideas to Tamarack, each and every summer. Their collective experience in overnight camping, and in running Zodiac Swim & Specialty Camp and Zodiac Swim School, make Camp Tamarack the best alternative for your camper’s summer experience.
