Program Plus: For 9, 10, & 11 year old boys & girls entering 4th, 5th and 6th grade next fall.

Super 8 and Program Plus allow older campers to concentrate more on expanding their skills, with the opportunity to participate in sleepovers and overnight trips, plus other activities from the full-day program. We also offer an optional horseback riding program for Super 8 and Program Plus campers.

Super 8 features bi-weekly and Program Plus weekly outings to water parks, bowling, and other interesting trips. We do not take trips to Chicago or Great America where we would be concerned with big crowds, the children’s safety and long rides.

The Trailblazers Are Here! Don't put your camp tee-shirts on the shelf just yet! By popular demand, Tamarak has added a coed teen group to it's summer programming. Campers who have completed the 6th and 7th grades can now continue their summers at Tamarak with four 2-week sessions of new activities and excursions: all with that Tamarak spirit.

For 2 weeks, campers will split their days between in-camp activities, specialty exploration, and various outings. We have included a spectrum of choice, leadership and teamwork to give each camper a well-rounded experience for them. See each term for specific offerings including a nine-day expedition to Durango, Colorado.
