What is Fall Out of Camp (and Spring in to Camp)?

Carolyn Dugan September 4, 2019 September 4, 2019Events, News

Fall Out of Camp is a weekend devoted to getting Camp Tamarack ready for the winter months. Most of our 21 buildings do not have heat or insulation, so we need to make sure the water and power is shut off, the windows and doors are closed and locked and ready for Wisconsin wind, snow and temperatures. We also close down the waterfront, which means cleaning out the boat house of anything the animals can make a nest of, and taking those items, along with the watercraft, to their winter storage areas. We make sure the rest of the Camp…

Trying something new – Stampin Up

Carolyn Dugan November 8, 2018 November 10, 2018Events 0

This past weekend Camp tried to have an Advent Retreat and unfortunately we didn’t get a lot of interest, however that didn’t stop us from going forward with the crafting part of the weekend. Keep the first weekend of November open for 2019 so we can try this again – it’s a great time to prepare for the Advent season! Heidi Olsen led a small, but crafty group made of Kim, Beth and Carolyn, in making Christmas cards! Started with the most complicated card so everything was downhill from here 🙂

New Wheels at Camp

Carolyn Dugan October 29, 2018 October 29, 2018News 0

Camp has received 8 new wheels this fall! Attached to those wheels are a new John Deere tractor for mowing+ and new Camp truck for hauling+! The First Baptist Church in Ixonia heard our plight of the riding lawn mower deciding not to work anymore this year and really stepped up to work with Kim and provide Camp a brand new John Deere X570 that will mainly be used for mowing grass in those hard to reach places that the big tractor just can’t get, but is too big for a push mower to handle. Earlier this year, Carolyn reached…

Carolyn Dugan August 8, 2018 August 8, 2018News 0

Camp Tamarack hosted its first-ever Tamarack Tales nature camp in July of 2018. With three lakes and a little over 180 acres, there is a lot of nature to be had at Camp Tamarack Most campers know about Orlando Lake, which is where our swimming beach is. Some know that Orlando is connected to Knight Lake, which is what the Vespers area overlooks. A few know about Youngs Lake, which has its own Tamarack water access and a dock just down the trail across from the Basile Retreat Center. During Tamarack Tales, campers had the opportunity to do citizen science…
