TAMARACK CAMPS:
THE JUDAIC EXPERIENCE
'Where Judaism
and the outdoor
walk Yad b' Yad"
In May, Tamarack Camps will send
25 summer supervisory staff on an
18 day study trip to Israel. Upon
their return they will come to camp
and directly influence the level of
Jewish identity throughout all
aspects of our program. Harvey
Finkelberg, Executive Director,
exclaimed, "I am very excited to
offer this special experience to our
staff, and know the impact Israel has
on every individual, which will
benefit our camp." Mr. Finkleberg
continued, "I have seen many
Jewish programs at a variety of
Jewish Communal Camps, and
Tamarack Camps is by far a leader
in the field. Through Shabbat
Services, Havdallah, Songs, and
weekly programs, we blend the
values and traditions of Judaism
with the outdoors."
The Jewish Community of Detroit
can take pride in their sponsorship
of Tamarack Camps as a leader in
the quest to help children continue
being proud of their Jewish heritage
throughout their adult years.

WESTERN TRIP
ALASKAN ADVENRJRE
"The Wild Country"
was
rpl he long, bus but ride on to the Colorado
big Blue
it Lakes bus we had plenty of
"The Last Frontier"
room to stretch out and relax. Our
day hikes in Rocky Mountain
National Park got us ready for our 2
night backcountry trip, and it was
phenomenal. The memory of
Shabbat in the wilderness will be
with me always. Next we
mountainbiked in the ghost town of
Ashcroft, just outside Aspen.
Arches in Utah gave me a good look
at the desert, just as I had imagined!
Zion National Park was the highlight
of my trip, climbing up Angel's
Landing and hiking down the tight
river canyon through the Narrows.
Off to the mountains of Idaho, where
we hiked the Sawtooths and rafted
the mighty Salmon river. Just when
I thought it couldn't get any better,
we went to the Tetons and
Yellowstone. Unbelievable!! Bison
and Elk everywhere. We also
helped out the National Park
Service building a fence in
Yellowstone, and the chance to give
something back after seeing all
these natural wonders seemed
appropriate. We began our east-
ward journey, with a look at the
Badlands and Black Hills of South
Dakota, and ended our trip in
Michigan's U.P. Yet it didn't seem
like an end, but more of a beginning,
a beginning to new friendships and
a confidence in my abilities to
flourish in any environment, based
on everything I learned from my
Western Trip.
Although it seems like yesterday
when the trips ended, plans are well
underway for Western '94. Interest
has been high, and trips are nearly
sold out. Don't delay in signing up,
acrd we'll see you in the Rockies!!
I
didn't think it could get any
better. Banff and Lake
Louise,and the hikes through the
mountains, were spectacular. Then,
we hopped on the ferry to cruise the
Inside Passage. And it got better! The
whales swimming alongside, the days
getting longer, and at the end of the
ride, Skagway and the Chilkoot Trail.
Our backpacking trip followed the path
of the 1898 Gold Rush, as we walked
through lush forests and onto bright
snowfields. At trail's end, another kind
of gold awaited my tired body - a soak
at Takhini Hot Springs. We continued
into Alaska's interior, exploring the
Kenai Peninsula and participating in a
National Park Service volunteer project
and also envying the monstrous halibut
and salmon everyone else was catch-
ing. Next, North to Denali State Park
and one of the most challenging yet
rewarding hikes I've ever done, on the
Kseugi Ridge. We continued up to
Denali National Park, and along with
spectacular views of the highest peak
in North America, we saw moose,
caribou, fox, and the magnificent
grizzly bear. The amazing journey
continued, as we learned the ways of
the Tlingit Indians and shared some
Hebrew songs at the Chilkat Culture
Camp. Another brief ferry ride and we
landed with great anticipation in
Juneau, anxious for our sea kayaking
adventure. Paddling out into Resurrec-
tion Bay and camping on Douglass
Island provided an ideal backdrop for
the Shabbat of a lifetime, candles
flickering in the salt breeze. We sadly
boarded the ferry, knowing our time in
Alaska ended. But many exciting
adventures were still to come, including
a few days back in the majestic
Canadian Rockies; the waterpark in the
West Edmonton Mall; and a drop down
into Glacier National Park. As we
entered Michigan, we knew our journey
was almost over, but this trip would live
on forever in our minds.
Alaska '94 will once again be an
adventure to remember. Plans are well
underway for next summer, and trips
are filling fast.
