FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Summer Camp Registration Opens Tomorrow at 9 AM – Secure Your Spot!
[Grande Prairie, February 18, 2025] – Parents, get ready! Registration for Camp Tamarack’s 2025 spring summer and fall programs opens tomorrow at 9 AM, and spots fill fast! Give your child a summer of adventure, friendship, and personal growth in an inclusive environment where all kids—with and without disabilities—are welcomed and supported.
Why Choose Camp Tamarack?
At Camp Tamarack, we believe in Adventure, Inclusion, Community, Belonging, Empowerment, and Nature. Our programs are designed to challenge and inspire campers while ensuring every child feels safe and supported.
We offer a unique 8 AM – 8 PM program, allowing campers to experience the full camp day without staying overnight—perfect for those who may not be ready for overnight camp but don’t want to miss out on the fun. Our facilities are also wheelchair accessible, ensuring adventure is open to all.
In addition to our day camps, we offer sleep-away camps for children as young as 4 and an adult camp for adults with disabilities, making Camp Tamarack a place for everyone to grow, explore, and belong.
Exciting Programs for Campers of All Ages!
-
Day Camps: Primary and Try-It Day Camp options for younger campers.
-
Accessible Options: Our 8-8 program allows campers to enjoy a full day while returning home at night.
-
Themed Camps: Choose from Stage & Studio, Wild-Ventures, Sci-Ventures, and more!
-
Mountain Biking: We partner with Nitehawk to offer downhill and trail riding programs.
-
Teen Chill: A relaxed traditional camp experience with afternoons dedicated to crafts, games, quiet time, and free time to hang out.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Campers design their experience, selecting from activities like Wilderness skills, Sports, Dungeons & Dragons, and Arts & Crafts.
-
Teen Leadership Program: A hands-on leadership experience where teens apply online, go through an interview process, and take on real leadership responsibilities. Participants develop leadership and communication skills, volunteer with younger campers, and embark on a new overnight hiking out-trip!
A Camp Culture Like No Other!
-
“Challenge by Choice” Philosophy – We encourage campers to step outside their comfort zone, whether it’s climbing a rock wall, performing on stage, or trying something new in a group activity.
- Unique Traditions:
-
Funishments – Campers vote for their favorite leader to get “punished” for silly “crimes” like smiling too much or waking them up early—expect slime, paint, or a water dunk!
-
Value Awards – Recognizing campers who embody our core values of Adventure, Inclusion, Community, Belonging, Empowerment, and Nature.
-
The Golden Plunger – The cleanest cabin wins the honor of eating first at lunch!
Parents Love the Camp Tamarack Experience!
Our campers leave with greater confidence, independence, and lifelong memories. One parent shared:
"He was proud that he helped build a fire. Going to camp helped build his self-esteem."
Another camper reflected:
"I made new friends and tried things I never thought I would!"
Don’t Miss Out – Register Tomorrow at 9 AM!

When I was diagnosed in January 2021, I never could have imagined that I'd end up developing an app. Going through my breast cancer treatment during those globally challenging times (you know exactly what I mean) sparked a deep desire in me to help other women manage their breast health more easily. Now, here I am, and if you're reading this, it means that the app is almost ready to launch! You'll be among the very first to know when it's live on all mobile platforms!
I'm feeling every emotion right now—excited, relieved, exhausted, and most of all, hopeful. I truly believe this little app on your phone will make a big difference. In the coming weeks, I'll explain how it can support your breast health and overall female health, no matter your age. My greatest wish is that you'll use this tool before ever facing a diagnosis (and may that day never come), but if you do - we will provide a lot of support during treatment, please remember: early detection is key to surviving.
I'm so grateful to have you here with me on this journey, and I can't wait to share more of My Breast Day with you!
In the meantime, if you'd like to see more of "My Breast Day," just click the link below!

Try Something Different For Different PAIN ENDING, LIFE CHANGING Results
When You FREE YOUR ENERGY at Beyond Belief Mind and Body Healing
Why is pain so hard to get rid of?
With so many therapies, techniques and health practices out there, why isn't pain less of a problem?
All pain, big or small, is caused by stuck energy.
Pain won't end unless the stuck energy causing that pain is removed.
This is the problem with pain.
The stuck energy isn't removed.
This is no ones fault.
Simply a lack of understanding of the underlying cause.
How much time do you want to spend getting your pain ending results?
I used to live in pain everyday.
I tried many different therapies to end my pain over my life, but had to keep going back every month to keep the results I wanted.
That is, until I took the stuck energy out.
Once I got the stuck energy out, the pain stayed away for good!
Less than a year it took, once I started addressing the energy, to end my pain once and for all.
I wanted to bring this life changing idea to everyone so I created my own energy healing techniques to end this problem.
Try something different to get different results!
Rose Energy Healing and Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release are that something different!
Both of these unique therapies target energy stuck deep within the body to bring about unbelievable pain ending, life changing results!
Find yourself constantly needing to go to massage, physio or the chiropractor to get any kind of pain relief?
Will your pain just not go away?
Maybe stuck energy within your body is causing your pain.
Rose Energy Healing and Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release will remove the stuck energy behind your pain unlike any other therapy.
Massage doesn't fully release energy trapped within your organs.
Physio doesn't fully release trapped energy within your soul and spirit.
Chiro doesn't fully release trapped energy stuck deep within the muscle tissue.
Rose Energy Healing and/or Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release can do all that, plus so much more!
Get rid of your pain in less time and get the results you want faster when you try Rose Energy Healing and/or Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release!
Watch the following youtube video about Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release, Beyond Belief Mind and Body Healing and also hear client pain ending success stories! - https://youtu.be/8LAmFk2Vo9g
Or find out more at https://beyondbeliefmindbodyhealing.com/rose-energy-healing/
Call 780-882-9775 to free your stuck energy and end your pain now!
Pain ending results don't get better than this!
