Operated by the Tamarack Foundation
The Tamarack, unlike most trees with needlelike leaves, loses its
foliage in the fall, and through the winter stands apart from the rest of the
trees because of its apparent lifelessness. Given the right environment,
however, it will blossom forth to become one of the most majestic trees in the
forest.
Like the Tamarack tree in winter, learning disabled
children also stand apart, marked by the differences between them and other
children. Camp Tamarack exists to change that by providing a nourishing
environment so that they too may grow.
Camp Tamarack is a summer school for children and teens with
learning disabilities. It is located 25 kilometers northwest of Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada (Click here for a map). The camp was established in 1977 by the
Tamarack Foundation to serve learning disabled children that have average to
above average intelligence and ability to learn. These children show
discrepancies between potential and achievement and display deficits in language
abilities.
