n

and clapping and laugh-
ter punctuated Songfest,
one of the events helping
to celebrate this year's
100th anniversary of Fresh Air
Society/Tamarack Camps, Detroit's
Jewish camping agency.
More than 300 celebrants joined in
medleys of favorite Tamarack songs
and sampled refreshments April 28 at
Royal Oaks Comedy Castle. Three
generations of Fresh Air Society
campers, counselors, officers and
friends joined the reunion.
Guests included Bubbe-Zayde camp
graduates attending with their grand-
children, and adolescent campers who
improvised duets and dance-alongs in
the aisles. Teens reminisced about
roughing it at Camps Agree (Ontario)
and Kennedy (Upper Peninsula) and
on Alaska trips. Other individuals
recalled when Tamarack still had loca-
tions in Brighton as well as Ortonville.
Sing-alongs conducted by Cantor
Joel Colman of Temple Sinai in New
Orleans, La., and Ann Arbor resident
Mark Rosenwasser provided one
highlight of the afternoon. Both men
were Tamarack Camps staffers during
the 1970s.
Song leaders and current staff mem-
bers David Rodgers, Laura Moss and
Jared Goldberg directed the Camp

Choir of 2001. Selections were per-
formed from the commemorative CD
Songs of Summer, published- in honor of
Fresh Air Society's 100th anniversary.
Fresh Air Society President Henry
Wineman II of Bloomfield Hills,
whose grandmother Gertrude
Wineman was a Tamarack president
from 1920-1923, attended the festivi-
ties. So did Richard Komer, also of
Bloomfield Hills, who served as presi-
dent of the FAS board of directors
from 1988-1991.
Recalling his years at camp, first as a
camper in the 1950s, Komer said,
"What's different is that these days,
the campers incorporate more Hebrew
in their songs. It's really nice."
Sentimental moments from Fresh
Air Society history were relived as
guests looked through copies of A

Timeless Treasure: 100 Years of Fresh Air
Camp. Author Wendy Rose Bice and
graphic designer Laurie Bloom were
on hand to sign their books. ❑

Fresh Air Society will hold a
campers' reunion Aug. 18 at
Camp Maas in Ortonville.
The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit-supported
agency will hold its annual meet-
ing on Aug. 11. For information,
