she said.
Another new program,
which Zaks describes as a
learning-earning expe-
rience, - is called Farm
Community Co-Op.
"The Co-Op is a group of
14 boys and girls all going
into their senior year in
high school who will run a
cooperative farm and re-
cycling center at the Orton-
ville camp, - he said.
"They'll grow vegetables,
which they will sell to the
camp, to the Jewish Home
for Aged and to the Jewish
Community Center at regu-
lar wholesale prices," he
said. "The garden will be
100 per cent organic.
They'll also raise earth-
worms, which will be used
in the garden and as bait
for campers who go fishing,
and chickens and rabbits.
The animals will be sold at
the end of camp."
Chuck Bayer, a math
teacher in the Farmington
schools and a veteran
Tamarack staffer, will
supervise the co-op, said
FAS program coordinator
Karen Henkin.
The students are each
paying the initial costs of
the eight-week program,
said Zaks, "and we expect
they will earn twice that
amount by selling what
they raise."
The Fresh Air Society
began moving away from
traditional" camping in
1958, when teen trips were
started. This year, partici-
pants in three teen trips
will spend a month in the
western part of the country,
one of them concentrating
on mountain climbing in
Colorado for a week. Anoth-
er will spend three weeks
exploring the east coast of
the United States and Can-
ada.
Hardier campers can opt
for one of three bike trips,
ranging from a 230-mile
trip in western Michigan
for beginners to a 400-mile
trip in the Upper Peninsula
and Wisconsin for expe-
rienced cyclists.
Tamarack's non-traveling
programs are also varied.
In addition to traditional
camps at Brighton, for chil-
dren aged 7 to 10, and at Or-
tonville for 11- to 13-year-
olds, there are "specialty"
programs in drama, dance,
sports, waterfront, crafts
and camping at the Orton-
ville site. Kfar Ivri at Orton-
ville, co-sponsored by
United Hebrew Schools, an-
other Federation member
agency, combines intensive

"When you think of camp
you usually have a pastoral
vision of fields and kids and
a lake to swim in," said
Mike Zaks, associate direc-
tor of the Fresh Air
Society, the member
agency of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation of Detroit
which runs Camp Tama-
rack and its many pro-
grams.
And that's what our
camp is. But we also serve
about 300 kids in other,
unique ways."
As the needs of the com-
munity have changed, so
Camp Tamarack's pro-
grams have changed al-
most yearly since the Fresh
Air Society's start in 1902.
Three new programs are
being added this year: a
camping program at Orton-
ville for children suffering
from kidney disease, a coop-
erative farm program for
high school seniors and a
trip to England for high
school seniors and college
freshmen.
The kidney program is
funded by the Michigan Kid-
ney Foundation, said Zaks.
Six campers age 11 to 15
will attend each of three 19-
day sessions at Tamarack's
main camp in Ortonville.
"They have to spend six
hours every other day on a
dialysis machine," Zaks
said. "Two kids can be on
the same machine at one
time. When they're off the
machine, they'll join in the
regular camp program."
The camp doctor will look
after the young kidney
patients. Two nurses and a
medical technician from
Children's Hospital will be
assigned especially to
them. Children's Hospital is
also supplying the dialysis
machines, Zaks said, and
General Motors is lending
the camp a trailer to use as
a mobile lab.
The England trip is being
organized by a former
Tamarack staffer who lives
in England and attends the
London School of Econom-
ics, said Lynn Medow, a
Fresh Air Society program
coordinator. Projected
plans for the 23-day trip in-
clude a week of hiking in
Wales, a week on a canal
boat in the Lake District
and five days' sightseeing
in London.
Ms. Medow said she
hopes the 10 trippers will
be able to spend the three
Sabbaths with English Jew-
ish families. "This will tie
in with one of our themes
for camp this summer,
`Jews of Other Nations',"

Campers in the crafts specialty program at Camp
Tamarack in Ortonville learn to use a potter's wheel as
seen in top photograph. There are also specialty programs
in drama and dance, sports, waterfront and camping. Oth-
er campers may opt to learn to use nature's bounty while
conserving energy. The youngster in the bottom photo-
graph is cooking breakfast on a solar stove.
Hebrew language education
with the camp experience.
Informal Jewish educa-
tion is an important part of
all Tamarack programs.
Kashrut is observed at
Brighton and Ortonville.
The Sabbath is kept no mat-
ter where the campers are,
and every year there are
several Israelis on the
staff.
Several years ago an ex-
perimental camping pro-
gram for emotionally dis-
turbed youngsters was
started. It was so
successful that in 1973 it
was expanded from one
camp session to three. Last
year, learning-disabled chil-
dren were included in the
program.
In addition to the Bright-
on and Ortonville camps,
the Fresh Air Society has
Camp Kennedy near Munis-
ing in the Upper Peninsula,
where older campers can
experience more rugged
conditions, and three out-
post camps which serve as
bases for canoeing and hik-
ing trips.
The Fresh Air Society
was started to provide
wholesome recreational and
educational experiences for
new immigrants. Although
the camp now serves chil-
dren from all economic
strata, special consid-
eration is given to those
whose families cannot pay
the full fee, including new
immigrants from Russia.
More and more emphasis
is being placed on the chil-
dren of single-parent fami-
lies, said Ms. Medow. This
year, half the campers will
pay either a reduced
subsidy fee or will receive
a full or partial scholarship.
A key element in financing
the FAS annual operating
deficit is the all cation
from the Allied Jewith Cam-
paign-Israel Emergency
Fund, which wil approx-
imate $130,000 t is year.
