Meet the Team
At Camp Tamarack, we believe that being able to provide an inclusive summer camp experience starts with being an inclusive employer. What does this mean? Our hired staff are trained members, not only local to Grande Prairie, but also from communities throughout the world. Our diverse team is made up of incredible people of different ethnicities, individuals with disabilities, as well as members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Providing an inclusive workplace has many benefits, including ensuring that each and every camper will have a leader that they feel they can connect with. As we continue to grow at Camp Tamarack, our core values remain the same, and we will continue to aim on providing an inclusive and barrier free outdoor camping experience through accessible, fun-filled and innovative programs, for people of all ages and abilities.

I have dog and his name is Aussie, he is quite the old man but I’ve had him since I was 7 so he is my whole world. I had to put down my hedgehog last year but his name was Chester and he lived to be 8! I love anything creative whether it be singing, dancing (tho I’m nat that good), drawing, or writing. I also love the outdoors, my family is big on water sports so I lake surf a lot and wake board. I love fashion and bright colours, I’m also an avid trinket lover and am always looking to find something to fill my already cluttered room!
I am still a high school student but I aspire to do vet school or possibly SLP (speech language pathologist), I’ve always loved working with children because I find it very rewarding, they have such bright and big minds with questions most adults are afraid to ask and I admire that! I volunteer at PARDS which is a therapeutic horse program where we workers help children with disabilities build their confidence along side a horse, it’s a wonderful program that I love to be apart of and learn from so many kids. I played competitive basketball for majority of my teen years and love the sport, though I tend to get a little competitive. I love to sing and have been singing the national anthem at hockey games for a very long time and have even done some musicals though not many. I love learning languages and have a goal that by the time I’m too old to really do anything, I wish to know at least 6 languages fluently, I’m already at 3 so it’s only up from here!
My favourite thing to do at camp is sit and talk with the kids, I love having conversations about their school life and all the funny stories they have about their friends. I love getting the chance to relate to them and say “omg I also went to that school” or “I also traveled to that place!” I am really looking forward to being in a new position and getting to actually get to know the staff as more then just a coworker but as a friend!
