T

the community has 
been eagerly awaiting 
the return of Tamarack 
Camps’ Bubbie Zaydie Family 
Camp.
Grandparents, such as 
Diane and Howard Morof, 
look forward to and enjoy 
this special time with their 
grandkids. “The entire 
weekend was perfect in every 
way. The staff were fun, warm, 
interesting, helpful, sweet, and 

my granddaughter loved all of 
them,” said Diane. “We look 
forward to participating in 
many more Tamarack Family 
Camp programs in the future.” 
Nancy Bortman, a 
Bubbie Zaydie Camp 
participant, shared, “Thank 
you to Helayne Shaw and 
the Tamarack team for a 
wonderful weekend! We 
all enjoyed ourselves and I 
believe that you helped in 

making wonderful memories 
for my grandchildren. 
Although everything runs 
smoothly, I know there is a 
great deal of effort put in by 
Helayne and her staff.” 
Parents notice the impact 
in their children’s lives once 
they return home from their 
weekend away with their 
grandparents. “Thank you for 
making the camping experience 
for my daughters and their 

grandparents so welcoming 
and fun!” says Kate Brown. 
“They had a fantastic time. I 
hope Tamarack continues to 
have meaningful experiences 
and reconnections like this 
throughout the summer.
”
