CAMP TAMARACK |
||
The Tamarack, unlike most trees with needlelike leaves, loses its foliage in the fall, and through the winter stands apart from the rest of the trees because of its apparent lifelessness. Given the right environment, however, it will blossom forth to become one of the most majestic trees in the forest. Like the Tamarack tree in winter, children with learning disabilities also stand apart, marked by the differences between them and other children. Camp Tamarack exists to change that by providing a nourishing environment so that they too may grow. Camp Tamarack is a summer school for children and teens with learning disabilities. It is located 25 kilometers northwest of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada (Click here for a map). The camp was established in 1977 by the Tamarack Foundation to serve children with learning disabilities that have average to above average intelligence and ability to learn. These children show discrepancies between potential and achievement and display deficits in language abilities. |
