amarack Camps held its seventh annual Family Fun
Day on Sunday, June 22. More than 1,200 camp-
ers, parents, alumni, family members and friends
came to Camp Maas in Ortonville to enjoy their favorite
camp activities including swimming, the climbing wall,
Teva (nature), arts and crafts, and a new zip line, thanks
to the generosity of Natalie and Manny Charach of West
Bloomfield. Camp staff members were on hand to greet
families and provide tours of camp.
"Family Fun Day is a great opportunity for our commu-
nity to experience its camp:' said President Michael Lippitt.
"Tamarack Camps is truly our Jewish community's home.
This year we are particularly excited to showcase many new
and updated facilities as we complete the second year of our
10-year master facilities plan:'
Families got their first looks at the New Old Amphitheater

funded by the William Davidson Foundation, the new
Bargman Foundation Medical Shelter, new cabins in DeRoy
Village funded by the Rodecker Testimonial Fund and the
Berman Village prototype cabin and new lodge. Everyone was
excited about the new facilities.
The day also included a celebration of the 18th summer of
Roberta Blumberg, director of health and safety, at the dedica-
tion of the Bargman Foundation Medical Shelter. The shelter,
located next to the dining hall, will allow the medical staff to
distribute medications to campers and staff in a more efficient
and safe manner.
The fun-filled day ended with a song session and s'mores
at Jeff's Circle, which yet again provided a fitting spring-
board to another wonderful summer at Tamarack and a
reminder of the strength of the Metropolitan Detroit Jewish
community.
