Sponsorship and Donations
Our vision for the future encompasses two pivotal phases, each aimed at furthering our mission and ensuring a sustainable, accessible, and enriching future for all.
Phase 1: Ensuring Long-Term Sustainability and Accessibility
In this phase, our primary goal is to secure the long-term sustainability of Camp Tamarack while keeping the camp accessible and welcoming to all.
Financial Sustainability:
To guarantee the continued operation and safety of our facilities, we need to ensure that our utilities, insurance, and maintenance funds are stable.
Staff Growth and Development:
Invest in more year-round staff to enhance camp operations and enrich the experiences we provide for campers.
Invest in training and development programs to empower our staff, enabling them to offer exceptional service and uphold our camp’s values.
Consistently attract and retain more seasonal and year-round staff.
Phase 2: Growth and Program Expansion
In this phase, we aim to broaden our programs and offerings to create an even more inclusive and adventurous environment for our campers.
Wheelchair Accessible High Ropes Course:
Develop a state-of-the-art, wheelchair-accessible high ropes course, ensuring that every participant, regardless of mobility, can experience the thrill of adventure.
Expanded Seasonal Programming:
Enhance fall and spring outdoor experience programming to allow participants from all user groups to immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of nature during these transitional seasons.
Develop engaging winter programs, providing year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure and growth while fostering a sense of belonging and community.
Expand Accessibility:
We want to remove even more barriers to accessing nature and programming. For example, for people with visual impairments, we need high contrast archery equipment.
