A Campaign to Support The Ministry of Camp Tamarack
How
many times has that chorus been sung around a campfire at Camp Tamarack
since its inception in 1958? Countless times, no doubt.
At Camp Tamarack hundreds of life-changing decisions are made, prayers
are expressed and answered, young disciples make great strides in their
faith journey, and leaders-young and old-give their best to children,
youth and adults who gather there.
This campaign supports the evangelism, discipleship and leadership development
ministry of Camp Tamarack by replacing, updating and renovating the facilities.
Our goal is to "pass it on" to the next generation and proper
facilities are needed.
