CHARLES N. AGREE
Situated just outside of Wawa in 
northern Ontario, Canada, Charles 
N. Agree Outpost Camp, or Ultimate 
Agree, is designed for campers entering 
grades 10 and 11. Slightly larger 
than Camp Kennedy, this outpost 
camp accommodates 32-34 campers. 
There, campers learn leadership skills, 
self-confidence, how to navigate 
group dynamics and how to build 
interpersonal relationships while 
also experiencing the timeless Jewish 
traditions like Shabbat that Tamarack 
Camps is ultimately known for.
“Agree is definitely more rugged,” 
Weinstock says. “They don’t have 
electricity; they have outdoor showers. 
But it’s one of the most beautiful places 
that you would ever be.” 
Similar to Camp Kennedy, teens build 
their own schedules and cook their own 
food. “It’s really a special community 
that you don’t get anywhere else,” she 
continues. “It really teaches skills that 
they can take with them their entire 
lives.”
Charles N. Agree Outpost Camp runs 
June 25-Aug. 2 and has an early-bird 
discounted fee of $6,995. Beginning Jan. 
1, 2023, prices go up to $7,495.

WESTERN TRIP
Tamarack Camps’ two teen travel 
trips take Michiganders far outside of 
Michigan to experience the untouched, 
rugged wilderness in other parts of the 
country. The Western Trip is offered for 
campers entering 10th grade and is an 
intensive, five-week backpacking trip 
through the Western side of the United 
States.
Campers visit sites such as Rocky 
Mountain National Park in Colorado, 
Zion National Park in Utah and 
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. 
There, they white river raft, day hike, 
rock climb and, of course, cook their 
own meals without the use of modern 
devices.
“What the travel trips do is really 
create magic for these groups,” 
Weinstock says. “They’re hiking every 

day and sleeping in tents, but it changes 
these kids for the better. It really makes 
them grow as teens and as a group 
while learning how to be a community.”
The Western Trip runs June 21-Aug. 
8 (with dates subject to slight changes) 
and has a fee of $7,495. Prices remain 
the same after Jan. 1, 2023.

ALASKA TRIP
Campers entering 11th grade can 
embark on a 48-day trip to Alaska that 
includes hiking, camping and touring 
Alaska and the Canadian Rockies. 
As one of Tamarack Camps’ most 
intensive and rugged trips, campers do 
everything from ice climb on a glacier 
to fish for salmon, as well as hike the 
steep and winding Klondike Gold Rush 
Trail.
While the idea may sound scary to 
some, Weinstock says she meets with 
each family to discuss the trip and any 
fears they might have. “We show them 
pictures, we talk about it, and no one 
has canceled,” she explains. “They all go 
on the trips. One of the girls called her 
mom halfway through the trip because 
they get a phone call, and she said, 
‘Mom, thank you so much for allowing 
me to go on this trip because it changed 
my life.’”
The Alaska Trip runs June 21-Aug. 9 
and has a fee of $10,795. Prices remain 
the same after Jan. 1, 2023.
