already benefited from the Tamarack
Adventure & Retreat Center. “It’s
sometimes hard for people to believe
that a day spent canoeing or balanc-
ing between tree tops can change a
team dynamic or make you a better
listener and more confident leader,”
Zoup! President Richard Simtob
said. “But when Zoup! spent a day-
and-a-half at Tamarack Adventure
& Retreat Center, we saw our group
challenged in so many new ways, and
different teams from within our com-
pany grew closer together.”
The Tamarack Adventure & Retreat
Center has full-time and seasonal
staff with certifications in environ-
mental education, team building
and outdoor living skills. Mark Noble
joined the team as business sales
manager in August and is respon-
sible for expanding the Tamarack
Adventure & Retreat Center client
reach across the entire country.
Housing options are available
for those opting for an overnight
stay. Groups can comfortably rest
their heads at any of the recently
updated winterized villages located
on Tamarack’s main campus. Each
village can accommodate as many
as 128 guests, and there are private,
central lodges within each village
designed for team leaders. Visitors
seeking a more luxurious setting can
reserve the Butzel Retreat Center,
which includes upscale sleeping
quarters, full showers, a fireplace and
housekeeping services.
Nutritious meals are served three
times daily. Guests are provided a
main course, along with a full break-
fast bar and salad bar. Fresh fruit,
along with a sandwich-making sta-
tion featuring jelly and non-peanut
butter products are available with
each meal. The Tamarack kitchen
abides by kosher food laws, with
guidance provided by the VAAD of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Along with the new name, logo
and expanded outreach, Tamarack
Adventure & Retreat Center is sup-
porting its rebranding with a new
website that will go live next year
— tamarackadventure.com — and
enhanced digital advertising and
social media footprints.
While Tamarack’s mission extends
beyond the Jewish community, the
organization continues to stay true
to its roots. “The goal is to generate
revenue during the non-summer
months to help us to continue to
fulfill our mission of providing qual-
ity Jewish camping experiences to
kids in our community, respectful of
financial ability as we have done for
115 summers,” Engel said.
In addition to summertime
camping and travel opportunities,
Tamarack continues to host year-
round Shabbatons, weddings, and
bar and bat mitzvahs. •
