Tamarack Camps, established by the Fresh Air Society, builds a vibrant community by providing enriching Jewish camping experiences for children and families, respectful of financial ability. Tamarack Camps is more than a camp – we are your home, your community. Through a wide-range of special overnight programs, including Camp Maas, Teen Travel Trips, Outpost Camps and Family Camps, we offer enriching life-changing experiences. Programs include:
- Camp Maas: Located on 1,100 forested acres and with two sparkling lakes in Ortonville, Michigan, Camp Maas is uniquely designed for children and teens entering 2nd-9th grades. Our programs combine wonderful activities with outdoor adventure, Jewish culture, excellent facilities, and of course, lots of fun!

Base camp is the Agree Outpost Camp just outside of Wawa, Ontario.
