•• SUMMER CAMP at Camp Tamarack ••

You know those traditional, wildly fun, sleep-in-a-cabin-for-several-nights summer camps you see in the movies? This is one of THOSE camps! Nestled along the shores of beautiful Dark Lake in Deschutes National Forest (a natural setting away from city life), campers spend their days engaged in a wide range of activities:

• Water fun
• Outdoor adventures
• Arts and crafts
• Games
• Sports
• And much more!

Summer camp enrolls up to 120 campers per session! Campers live in rustic cabins that each accommodate 6-8 children and a camp counselors.

Camp Tamarack features a variety of age-specific summer camp programs, including traditional 5-day, a Type-1 Diabetes session, and a number of specialty camps:

There are even Family Camp sessions, so grownups can return to camp and split their time between having fun with their kids and relaxing on their own. It's a family vacation at its very best!

After a full day of fun activities, evenings at Camp Tamarack feature campfires, skits, singing, laughter, and picture-perfect sunsets over Dark Lake.
