Fivah - Executive Director

Hi! My name is Fivah, and I have been the Executive Director of Camp Tamarack since April 1, 2022.

I currently live in Grande Prairie and enjoy being part of this amazing community. My favourite colour is Rocky Mountain Sky Blue and I have two kids, ages 7 and 8. In my free time, I enjoy snowboarding, swimming, and dancing.

My favourite part of camp is Tribunal, and I’m so excited to welcome both new and returning staff to Camp Tamarack for the 2026 season.

Sunshine - Inclusion and Program Manager

Hi there! I’m Sunshine! I joined the Camp Tamarack family in 2025, but my passion for the outdoors truly began at adventure camps in middle school, where my passion grew alongside the majestic redwood trees I adored.

Eventually, my path led me to a career in special education in 2016. Through years of hands-on work in the education system, I’ve learned that inclusion goes beyond mere support. It’s about recognizing and valuing individuals where they are, creating a safe space for them to be themselves.

Having moved over 20 times, I deeply appreciate the unique qualities of each community. I love finding creative ways to connect with youth where they are, and create magical experiences that help them build confidence and discover their strengths. My dedication is to ensure that every camper at Tamarack feels the values reflected in our slogan, “I CAN BE.”

Binx - Registration Manager

Hey! I ‘m Binx and this is my first season with the Camp Tamarack team!

I’m a busy mom with 6 kids and 2 grandbabies, so I truly understand how important it is for kids to feel safe, supported, and excited about their experiences away from home. When I am not working, you can likely find me with my family. Whether it is a road trip, time at a playground, paddleboarding at the lake, or a simple walk in the trails…we make the most of our time together.

While you may not always see me out in the activities, I’m always behind the scenes and here to support our staff, you & of course, your campers!

I’m really excited to see all the smiles and memories made this Summer!

Hi! My name is Ladybug, and I’m excited to be part of the Camp Tamarack team!

I have a son named Anderson who attends camp, and something special to me is that he goes to the same school I did as a child. We both love spending time swimming together.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a post-baccalaureate degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Manitoba. I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and getting creative whenever I have the time.

I’m from Grande Prairie, Canada, and my favourite colour is yellow.

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!
